//===========================
// Configuring Nginx to serve our Laravel application for all requests coming to the server through 
   its IP address.
//===========================

// go to nginx directory 
> cd /etc/nginx

// To configure Nginx to serve our Laravel application, 
// we need to create an Nginx configuration block. 
// Create a new file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory and paste the init configuration block 
> cd sites-available
> sudo nano project_name

// Save the file and create a symbolic link between the block file that's inside the sites-available 
   directory into the sites-enabled directory 
> sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/project_name /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

// delete default config for nginx that exist in sites-available 
> sudo rm default

// go to sites-enabled and delete the sym link as well 
> sudo rm default

// Finally, reload Nginx 
> sudo service nginx reload


// init configuration block 
server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;
        server_name _;
