I have worked with Apache before, so I am aware that the default public web root is typically /var/www/.
I recently started working with nginx, but I ca
My nginx on Ubuntu is "nginx version: nginx/1.9.12 (Ubuntu)" and root path is /var/www/html/
Ubuntu info is : No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial
Actually, if you just installed nginx on Ubuntu, then you can go to "/etc/nginx/sites-available" and check the default file, there is a configuration like "root /web/root/path/goes/here". And that is what you are looking for.
