Re: How to setup a website with nginx, centos and a domain registed on cloudflare?

Here is many questions not answered to make this easy, but i'll understand it like you would run your .php on the slow apache and then use the nginx as reversed frontend for apache..... but since you don't know about how to do this, you properly don't have a lot of visitors, so I'll suggest you skip the apache and go directly into nginx with php-fpm and reverse into that

guide for that part is here https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html

Next you'll have to simply fullow the https://nginx.org/en/docs/ to set it up

but..

make a /etc/nginx/conf.d/mysite.conf

make it listen to your ip

open port :80 on the vps and you are close

the most very basic ex. of a conf file looks somewhat like this

server (
listen 155.94.xxx.15x:80;
listen 155.94.xxx.15x:443;
server_name yourdomain.tld www.yourdomain.tld;
root /full/path/to/your/html/files;
index index.php index.html;
}

thi will now serve static *.html files from /full/path/to/your/html/files/ starting with the index.html
