well, you definitely want to make sure it isn’t running, using `service nginx stop` or at the very least uninstall it, if it is uninstalled it won’t utilize its configuration files and thus shouldn’t interfere with Discourse.

Be sure to reboot after uninstalling though to make sure it frees up port 80/443
