Using Nginx on Mageia 3

[flexxall]

Hello,
I have installed nginx from the repo. f i reboot my system I can connect to localhost and i get the nginx install page. However if I try to start/restart the service I get the following errors.

Code: Select all

flexxall@localhost ~]$ sudo systemctl start nginx
[sudo] password for flexxall:
Job for nginx.service failed. See 'systemctl status nginx.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details.
[flexxall@localhost ~]$ systemctl status nginx.service
nginx.service - A high performance web server and reverse proxy server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon, 2013-03-18 09:30:46 CDT; 13s ago
    Process: 2742 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf (code=exited, status=127)
     CGroup: name=systemd:/system/nginx.service

[flexxall@localhost ~]$


I have checked the path and it all seems ok the error code 127 is reported as

Code: Select all

127   "command not found"   illegal_command   Possible problem with $PATH or a typo

I have tried to edit the nginx.service file and I cant get rid of the error code.

Any input on how to correct this issue ?

Well, shouldn't it be

Code: Select all

systemctl start nginx.service

(you can also use service nginx start - the old style is still supported as a wrapper by systemd)

This returns the same error.

Code: Select all

[flexxall@localhost ~]$ systemctl start nginx.service

Can you please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep apache

[flexxall]

Can you please show the output of

Apache is not installed

Code: Select all

[flexxall@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep apache
[flexxall@localhost ~]$

If i remember correctly, it needs one of the apache packages, one that holds shared configuration which other webservers also use, but as i don't use webservers, currently can't tell which one exactly :/

At least there is a way to run nginx, all our webservers at Mageia run nginx.

[flexxall]

Well it will run after i reboot the system. I should not have to restart the server though if I change a configuration file

[doktor5000]

Well, in that case you can send the SIGHUP (hang up) signal to the process id, that does the same.
Or is there no dedicated binary like for apache, where you can do apachectl graceful to reload configs?

Admittedly, it's only a workaround, and ultimately needs to be fixed properly.
