I've pasted this into sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/mirror.conf but, I am unable to activate configuration when inputting the below.

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mirror.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mirror.conf sudo service nginx reload

Error reads: ln: target 'reload' is not a directory. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I've exactly the same error : "ln: target 'reload' is not a directory"
Could you help us ?

I think you want to break that into two separate commands.
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mirror.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mirror.conf
sudo service nginx reload

That error message is because the symlink command, ln -s, is trying to create a symlink to reload, which is not a command. You accidentally created symlinks for the sudo, service, and nginx commands/utilities.

Hi, Trying to build a MirrorMirror and facing an issue. Hope you can help.

Running
sudo service nginx reload
results in
[FAIL] Reloading nginx configuration: nginx failed!

I tried
sudo nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t
and it shows this
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: [emerg] socket() [::]:80 failed (97: Address family not supported by protocol)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Any tips ? (for a "Not a software guy")

Alright, I got nginx to run by editing
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default

and commenting out the IPv6 line
listen [::]:80 default_server;

and nginx runs now.

We got everything to work, but now it just opens the "Welcome to nginx on Debian" page. Anyone know what to do after that?

So update, I just had to change the permissions of the default file and delete it (leaving only mirror.conf) and it worked!

For people still getting the error "ln: target 'reload' is not a directory".
Use the command:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mirror.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mirror.conf && sudo service nginx reload
