configure Firewall Rules

==wm , we zitten hier, er is geen FW aangezet blijkbaar, want site werkt er zonder vanaf laptop==
zie [[2. install some tools#firewall]]

This install does not automatically add firewall rules to the standard port 80 or 443 ports
set the following rules :
Open port 80 or HTTP:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
=> FirewallD is not running
Open port 443 or HTTPS:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
=> FirewallD is not running
Reload firewall to make changes into effect
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
=> FirewallD is not running
sudo systemctl start FirewallD ?
=> Failed to start FirewallD.service: Unit FirewallD.service not found.

test site

http://80.209.239.124 vanaf laptop
=> displays the Index.html page that is distributed with nginx on AlmaLinux.
It is located in /usr/share/nginx/html directory

put your content in a seperate location
edit the root configuration directive in the nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
change root /usr/share/nginx/html; to root /home/wmftp/main/wmsite;
