To check if Nginx is running, open a web browser and enter the IP address of your Kali Linux system in the address bar. If everything is working correctly, you should see the default Nginx welcome page.
By default, Nginx listens on port 80. If you want to change the default port number, you can do so by editing the Nginx configuration file.
Open the Nginx configuration file in a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Look for the following line:
listen 80 default_server;
Change 80 to the desired port number. For example, if you want to use port 8080, the line should look like this:
listen 8080 default_server;
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Restart the Nginx service for the changes to take effect.
sudo systemctl restart nginx
