I copy the command listed in the exercise and paste it into the virtual machine in order to setup nginx on the VM - I'm getting an error message that it can't find the package in the location provided.

<html><body><h2>Welcome to Azure! My name is my-vm.</h2></body></html>

[stderr]

E: Unable to locate package nginx

tee: /var/www/html/index.html: No such file or directory

    For me the same is happening when working on this exercise. Restarted the sandbox 2 times but unfortunately it does not seem to solve the issue.

    EDIT: after restarting multiple times (~5) and deleting the VM through Azure Portal it now seems to work.

    Hello, @Leroy Magnus !

    Step 2 has an external dependency which fails in rare cases. Resetting the sandbox is the most reliable way to resolve this. If you continue to see this after a sandbox reset, let us know in the comments and we'll continue to troubleshoot this. Thank you for your patience and for reporting this!

    Where are you seeing this issue?

    Why am I running into an error when running the custom nginx script?

    In rare cases, this external dependency will result in an error. The most reliable way to correct this is to restart the sandbox and run the commands again.

    We apologize for the inconvenience and are reviewing alternative options for this part of the training. Thank you for reporting this!
