Module 3: Sysadmin Daily Tasks

Chapter 13: Review Nginx and Apache Configs

In this chapter, you'll learn how to use Claude Code to review Nginx and Apache configs for syntax errors and security misconfigurations before reloading in production.

In the previous chapter, we built a real backup script from scratch, tested it for common edge cases, and automated it with a systemd timer, which wraps up Module 3.

Now we're moving into Module 4, which focuses on configuration management, which is one of the areas where Claude Code can be especially useful for Linux administrators who manage web servers.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to review web server configuration changes before reloading Nginx or Apache, because this simple step helps you catch errors early and avoid downtime or broken websites.

By the end, you'll know how to check for syntax mistakes, security issues, and missing settings before applying changes to a production server.
