❓ FAQ

    

                

            
                What if I do not have an SSL certificate yet?
                
            
            
Use certbot from Lets Encrypt to issue a free certificate: sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com. Only enable HSTS after HTTPS is fully working.

        

                

            
                nginx -t reports an error
                
            
            
Most issues are SSL path typos or a PHP-FPM socket path that does not match your install. Check the line number in the error and run journalctl -u nginx.

        

                

            
                Can I use Apache .htaccess on nginx?
                
            
            
No. nginx does not read .htaccess — rewrites must live in server / location blocks. For Apache hosts, use our .htaccess generator instead.
