Red Hat 8 Setup

rhel.md

Nginx

• sudo dnf install nginx -y
• sudo systemctl start nginx
• firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
• firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https

** NOTE ** When adding NGINX entries within RHEL, apparently you MUST checkout your code into the /var/www/ directory. I will update this once I learn why NINX entries can't point outside of of this directory.

** LARAVEL SPECIFIC ** I spent almost a day trying to learn why permissions kept on getting reset after any reboots or git pulls. This is due to SELinux which is installed as part of CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise Linx). To remedy this issue run the following command: sudo semanage permissive -a httpd_t
