widgets Remove an Available Site On an Ubuntu Server Running Nginx


To remove an available site on an Ubuntu server running nginx, you can use the following steps:


  1. Open a terminal on your Ubuntu server.
  2. Change to the directory where the nginx configuration files are stored. The default location is /etc/nginx/.
    cd /etc/nginx/
    
  3. List the available sites on your server using the command:
    ls sites-available/
    
  4. Remove the desired site from the available sites folder using the command:
    sudo rm sites-available/example.com
    
  5. Check if the site is enabled:
    ls sites-enabled/
    
  6. If the site is enabled, remove the symbolic link to the site by running the command:
    sudo rm sites-enabled/example.com
    
  7. Verify the configuration with the following command:
    sudo nginx -t
    
  8. Finally, restart the nginx server to apply the changes:
    sudo service nginx restart
    

Note: Above commands assume the site you want to remove is named "example.com", you need to replace it with the actual name of the site you want to remove.
