sudo apt update

Install Nginx

sudo apt install nginx -y

Check status

sudo systemctl status nginx

Restart Nginx

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Disk Usage

df -h

🔄 Git Workflow

Initialize Repository

git init

Add Files

git add .

Commit

git commit -m "Initial Commit"

Push

git push origin main

---

⚠️ Challenges Faced

1. SSH Login Issue

Initially, I tried connecting to the EC2 instance using Windows Command Prompt (CMD). After facing connection issues, I switched to PowerShell, but the problem persisted. Finally, I used Git Bash, where the SSH connection worked successfully after using the correct private key and command syntax.

Resolution

• Switched from CMD → PowerShell → Git Bash
• Verified the correct .pem file
• Used the proper SSH command

---

2. Git Push Rejected

While pushing the project, Git returned a non-fast-forward error because the remote repository already contained commits.

Resolution

git pull origin main
git push origin main

---

3. Screenshots Folder Missing

I initially forgot to push the screenshots folder to GitHub.

Resolution

git add .
git commit -m "Added screenshots"
git push
