listen	The port number to which the server listens to. Only one listen directive per server block.	listen 8080;
server_name	The name of the server. Only one server_name directive per server block. A server block should have at least one location block, eg: root ("/")	server_name abc;
index	The name of the index file. Only one index directive per server block or location block.	index index.html;
c_body_limit	The client body limit in MB. Default value is 1 MB. Server level c_body_limit is inherited by locations when the location does not specify a c_body_limit directive. Only one c_body_limit directive per server block or location block.	c_body_limit 50;
root	The root directory. The server level root value is inherited by the locations when the location does not have a root directive.

Location level error_page directives are written at the end of location directive. Server level error_page directives are written at the end of the server directive, after writing all the location blocks. Multiple error_page directives are possible per server block or location block.	error_page [error_code] [path_to_error_html]; error_page 404 /404.html;
