10. 9. Test Joomla Now for testing the server of Joomla you should restart the server for that follow the command:     # nginx -t (If the command shows ‘successfully’ message then the changes in file are correct and else the changes are wrong in the nginx configuration file.)     # systemctl restart php-fpm # systemctl restart nginx Then open any browser and type inside URL i.e http://ip_address/ After then configuration page i.e. http://ip_address/installation/ is open and then configure the following settings
