How to Set Up Nginx Server Blocks on Fedora 39

To set up multiple websites on a Fedora 39 server using Nginx, you can create server blocks (virtual hosts) to host different domains on the same server. This guide will walk you through the process.

Step 1 : Update and Install Nginx

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install nginx

Step 2 : Create Directory and Index File

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/nginx/example.devtutorial.io
sudo nano /usr/share/nginx/example.devtutorial.io/index.html

Add some content to the index.html file.

Step 3 : Set Permissions

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/share/nginx/example.devtutorial.io
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/share/nginx/example.devtutorial.io

Step 4 : Create Nginx Server Block Configuration

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/example.devtutorial.io.conf

Add the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.devtutorial.io;

    location / {
        root /usr/share/nginx/example.devtutorial.io;
        index index.html;
    }
}

Step 5 : Test Nginx Configuration

sudo nginx -t

Step 6 : Restart Nginx

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 7 : Access the Web Page

Open a web browser and navigate to http://example.devtutorial.io to test the website.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up Nginx server blocks on Fedora 39, allowing you to host multiple websites on a single server.
