nginx

In order to integrate the Web Application onto an nginx server, it is first necessary to enter all of the relevant settings:

Document directory

The folder from which the Web Application should be operated is entered here. The default folder is /var/www/html.

SSL certificate path

It is necessary to enter the directory in which the certificate will be saved here. The standard path here is /etc/nginx/certs/Web Application.crt.

SSL certificate key path

Finally, it is necessary to enter where the certificate key is located here. The default setting is /etc/nginx/certs/Web Application.key.

ngnix installation

Once all of the settings have been entered, the Web Application can be created via the button in the ribbon. The folder in which the ZIP file is located will then immediately open. The archive is unzipped and its contents are copied to the document directory on the web server.

The configuration for the nginx server was also created together with the ZIP file. This can be directly viewed on the Server Manager.

ngnix installation

The configuration then still needs to be integrated onto the nginx server. It can be directly copied on the Server Manager for this purpose.

NOTE: Every web server configuration is individual. Therefore, it is only possible to outline the normal process for a standard installation.

Standard configuration

The file /etc/nginx/sites-available/default is firstly opened. For example via "nano". Now search for the entry server { }. The configuration for the Server Manager is then added. Finally, the web server is restarted using the command systemctl restart nginx.

The Web Application is now ready to use and can be directly started.
