[SOLVED] Restart nginx question

A quick question, please?

Does nginx -s reload (as root) accomplish the same thing as sudo systemctl restart nginx.service, please?

Thanks

Almost:

https://salsa.debian.org/nginx-team/ngi … ervice#L24

EDIT: or use

# /etc/init.d/nginx restart

https://salsa.debian.org/nginx-team/ngi … #L132-L156

nginx restart errors

invalid option: "restart"

I'm not sure what to make of the salsa.debian.org pages ... do I need to edit something so that nginx -s reload is the same as nginx restart?

That's not what I posted

EDIT: the first salsa link shows the ExecReload line from the systemd unit file for nginx; that command is what is run when systemctl restart nginx is called.

Better to use the init script instead though, hence my suggestion in the code block.

Alternatively use either

sudo service nginx restart

or

su - 
service nginx restart

depending on whether you have a root password or not.

That's me missing a detail, again ...

I was sitting at /etc/nginx/ and missed the /init.d/ .. sigh.

All good, thanks!

Onward ...

OK, cool, I'm in root but

sudo service nginx restart

ran fine.

Thanks
