Reload nginx configuration

Question

I am trying to make modification in the Nginx conf file to remove a \"rewrite\".

Now I have this configuration file:

worker_processes  1;

events {
          


        

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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
