In the earlier I have mentioned that how to create web server i.e. Apache. Now I would like to explain about how to install the web server Nginx and to run the multiple applications in a single system we need to create the virtual hosts. Suppose we have install the Nginx web server then default path to execute our files under “/var/www/html” but we want to change another folder then we can for the configurations file. The configuration file under “/etc/nginx/site-avialable/default”, in the below I will explain about how to create the virtual hosts for different applications like PHP, NodeJS, ReactJS, GraphQL.
