How to start and stop the Nginx service?

To start and stop the Nginx service, you can use the following commands:

  1. Start Nginx:

    sudo service nginx start
  2. Stop Nginx:

    sudo service nginx stop

These commands assume you are using a Unix-like operating system, such as Linux or macOS, and have administrative privileges (sudo).

If you prefer, you can also use the systemctl command instead, which is the newer method for managing services on systems that use systemd:

  1. Start Nginx using systemctl:

    sudo systemctl start nginx
  2. Stop Nginx using systemctl:

    sudo systemctl stop nginx

Note that the actual command may vary depending on the specific distribution and version of your operating system.
