Question
Get failure installing Nginx in Ubuntu 16.04
I’ve read other questions but didn’t find an answer to my issue. Also as newbie I’m more lost than usual.
Well the problem is that trying to install Nginx and trying to see if ufw status get status: inactive
After this I write systemctl status nginx and get the next result:
pipo@pipo-X542UV:~$ sudo systemctl status nginx
● nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Have tried several times uninstalling and installing again
What I’m doing wrong?

The error is due to another process already running on port 80.
run
sudo fuser -k 80/tcp
and then restart NGINX
