Where can I find the Nginx configuration, and how do I restart the service?

The configuration for the Nginx web server is contained in two files.

/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
/usr/local/etc/nginx/vhosts/default.conf

The default.conf file is included in nginx.conf. Additional files can also be added here.

Direct changes to the vHost, however, are made in `default.conf`.

After every change to the Nginx configuration, you must at least perform a reload. If that is not sufficient, you must perform a restart.

Below are the most common control commands for the Nginx service:

sudo service nginx start|stop|restart|reload|configtest|status
