To "transfer" a symbolic link for an Nginx reverse proxy configuration from sites-available to sites-enabled means creating a symbolic link in the sites-enabled directory that points to the Nginx configuration file residing in the sites-available directory. This process enables the specific Nginx configuration for a website or reverse proxy.
Here are the steps to achieve this:
Locate the Configuration File:
Identify the Nginx configuration file for your reverse proxy in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory. For example, it might be named reverse-proxy.conf or your_domain.conf.
Create the Symbolic Link:
Use the ln -s command to create a symbolic link in the sites-enabled directory, pointing to your configuration file in sites-available.

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_config_file.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/Replace your_config_file.conf with the actual name of your Nginx configuration file.
Test Nginx Configuration: Before restarting Nginx, it is crucial to test the configuration for any syntax errors.
Шифра
sudo nginx -tIf the test is successful, Nginx will report "syntax is ok" and "test is successful."
Restart Nginx: If the configuration test passes, restart the Nginx service to apply the changes and enable your reverse proxy configuration.
Шифра
sudo systemctl restart nginxOr, on some systems:
Шифра
sudo service nginx restartAfter these steps, the Nginx reverse proxy configuration defined in your chosen file within sites-available will be active and served by Nginx.
