I am trying to modify the Nginx config file to remove a "rewrite".
Currently, I have this config file:
worker_processes 1;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
listen 80;
server_name amc.local;
return 301 https://$host:8443/index.html;
}
}
Now I want to reload this config file, I tried
nginx -s reload
nginx -c <conf file>
nginx -s stop/start
In the log file, there is the line
2014/01/22 11:25:25 [notice] 1310#0: signal process started
but the modifications are not loaded.
nginx -t will test the syntax of the configuration files and ensure that all configuration files referenced are accessible. If the Nginx configuration passes testing, then Nginx will be reloaded with nginx -s reload .
You need to reload or restart Nginx whenever you make changes to its configuration. The reload command loads the new configuration, starts new worker processes with the new configuration, and gracefully shuts down old worker processes.
Nginx ReloadApplies new configuration, that is, to open log files and new listen sockets. If this fails, it rolls back changes and continues to work with old configuration. If this succeeds, it starts new worker processes, and sends messages to old worker processes requesting them to shut down gracefully.
Restart Nginx only when making significant configuration updates, such as changing ports or interfaces. This command will force shut down all worker processes.
Maybe you're not doing it as root?
Try sudo nginx -s reload
, if it still doesn't work, you might want to try sudo pkill -HUP nginx
.
If your system has systemctl
sudo systemctl reload nginx
If your system supports service
(using debian/ubuntu) try this
sudo service nginx reload
If not (using centos/fedora/etc) you can try the init script
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
