nginx: why multiple conf files?

Tags:

nginx

There are multiple nginx conf files on single installation. Here is what I found:

  1. /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
  2. /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
  3. /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
  4. more in /etc/nginx/conf.d
  5. more in /etc/nginx/sites-available

What's the use of those multiple conf files? What is going to happen if there are conflict? Which one is the master copy?

Every NGINX configuration file will be found in the /etc/nginx/ directory, with the main configuration file located in /etc/nginx/nginx. conf . NGINX configuration options are known as “directives”: these are arranged into groups, known interchangeably as blocks or contexts .

Start with /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, all of the other files are included into it. See this document for details.

Use nginx -T to see the complete configuration as nginx sees it.
