💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'off' instead of 'on' disables the status page.

Using 'enabled' or 'true' is not valid syntax.

The stub_status on; directive enables the Nginx status page.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'localhost' is not valid in the allow directive.

Allowing '0.0.0.0' grants access to all IPs.

The IP 127.0.0.1 represents localhost, allowing only local access.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'enable' or 'activate' causes syntax errors.

Using 'true' is not recognized by Nginx.

The correct directive to enable the API is api on;.

hard

Fill both blanks to configure the Nginx Plus API to listen on port 8080 and allow only local access.

Nginx

server {
    listen [1];
    location /api {
        allow [2];
        deny all;
        api on;
    }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using port 80 instead of 8080 for the API.

Allowing '0.0.0.0' grants access to everyone.

Port 8080 is commonly used for API endpoints, and 127.0.0.1 restricts access to localhost.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a status page with JSON format, enabled stub_status, and allow access from localhost.

Nginx

location /status {
    stub_status [1];
    status_format [2];
    allow [3];
    deny all;
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Forgetting to enable stub_status.

Using 'off' instead of 'on' disables status.

Allowing access from all IPs instead of localhost.

Enable stub_status with on, set status_format json; for JSON output, and allow localhost access with 127.0.0.1.
