The configuration files for Nginx can be loaded without the need to shut down and re-start. This is done by sending an alert to the master process which examines the syntax of the new configuration file and makes any changes. It will also send an email to the previous worker processes informing them to not accept any new connections and continue maintaining existing connections. To create a configuration file for Nginx, open the "/etc/nginx/sites-available/" directory and then create a symbolic link to the file you want to use in the "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/" directory. The symbolic links, or symlinks, will be used to track which of the Nginx server blocks are enabled. This will allow your Nginx server to respond to requests for your domain and the default site.
