An administrator wants to include all .conf files in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ and also a specific file /etc/nginx/custom.conf. The main nginx.conf has 'include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;' and 'include /etc/nginx/custom.conf;' in the http block. What will be the order of processing?

custom.conf is processed first, then the conf.d files.

The conf.d files are processed first, then custom.conf.

The order is random and not guaranteed.

All files are sorted alphabetically and processed together.

An NGINX configuration has an http block that includes a file with a server block. The included server block sets 'listen 8080;'. The main nginx.conf also has a server block with 'listen 80;'. After reloading, what will happen?

The main server block will override the included server block, and only port 80 will be used.

Both server blocks will be active, listening on ports 8080 and 80 respectively.

The configuration will fail to load because there are multiple server blocks.

The included server block will override the main server block, and only port 8080 will be used.

An NGINX configuration has an http block with 'keepalive_timeout 65;'. An included file in the http block contains a location block that sets 'keepalive_timeout 30;'. What will be the effective keepalive_timeout for requests matching that location?

65, because the http block setting takes precedence.

Both values will be used, with 65 for some requests and 30 for others.

The configuration will fail to load because keepalive_timeout is defined in both contexts.

30, because the location block setting overrides the http block setting for that location.

An `http` block contains a directive `gzip on;`. An included file inside the `http` block contains `gzip off;`. What is the effective value of `gzip` in the merged configuration?

It depends on the order of the `include` directive.

It causes a configuration error.

An NGINX configuration has an http block with 'server_tokens off;'. An included file in the http block contains a server block with 'server_tokens on;'. Another included file in the http block contains a location block with 'server_tokens off;'. What will be the effective server_tokens setting for requests to that location?

on, because the server block setting overrides the location block setting.

off, because the http block setting is inherited and cannot be overridden.

off, because the location block setting overrides the server block setting.

The configuration will fail to load because server_tokens is defined in multiple contexts.
