An NGINX administrator is troubleshooting why a new server block in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com is not being served. They confirm the file exists and has valid syntax. What should they check first in the core config file?

Whether the worker_processes directive is set to auto.

Whether the default_server flag is set in the new server block.

Whether the error_log directive points to a valid path.

Whether the include directive references the sites-enabled directory.

A developer compiled NGINX from source with the default prefix and now wants to locate the core configuration file. Which path should they expect?

/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

In the NGINX configuration structure, what is the purpose of the core configuration file?

It contains the access control lists for user authentication.

It holds the runtime statistics of the NGINX server.

/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
