Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I put the generated config file?

Save it as /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.conf and create a symlink to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/. Then run "sudo nginx -t" to test and "sudo systemctl reload nginx" to apply.

Do I need to modify anything in the generated config?

The config works as-is for most setups. You may need to adjust the document root path or PHP-FPM socket path for your specific server.

What PHP version should I choose?

Check your installed PHP version with "php -v" and select the matching version. For new projects, PHP 8.2 or 8.3 is recommended.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. Generate as many configs as you need.
