is there any config reload command with openresty - nginx

Now I am replaced nginx with openresty v1.21.4.1, with legacy nginx I am using this command to reload the nginx config:
service nginx force-reload
what should I do to reload the config without restart openresty? is there any reload command with openresty? I have tried:
[root#k8smasterone conf.d]# service openresty reload
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload openresty.service
Failed to reload openresty.service: Unit not found.
[root#k8smasterone conf.d]# openresty -s reload
-bash: openresty: command not found

How can I configure seLinux for GITLAB with external nginx

I'm setting up our Gitlab server and it works well when I disabled the seLinux.
How to fix the configuration of the seLinux to allow the gitlab work?
Environmnt:
CentOS 7.4.1708 and update all packages.
Gitlab 10.5.2
nginx 1.13.10
I've installed Gitlab and nginx and followed this link to configure to make the Gitlab work with installed nginx:
https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#using-a-non-bundled-web-server
When I clicked the link to the Gitlab, I could not reach there and I found error message in /var/log/nginx/error.log:
2018/04/05 11:39:27 [crit] 4092#4092: *3 connect() to unix:/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse/socket failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: xx.xx.xx.xx, server: localhost, request: "POST /gitlab/api/v4/jobs/request HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse/socket:/gitlab/api/v4/jobs/request", host: "xx.xx.xx.xx"
After I changed the seLinux to 'permissive' mode, it worked well as expected.
And in the /var/log/audit/audit.log file, I found the message:
type=AVC msg=audit(1522905628.444:872): avc: denied { write } for pid=12407 comm="nginx" name="socket" dev="dm-2" ino=8871 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=sock_file
Then I tryed to follow the instruction below:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache#selinux-modifications
but I cannot see the files/directories in it.
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_relay on
setsebool -P httpd_read_user_content on
semanage -i - <<EOF
fcontext -a -t user_home_dir_t '/home/git(/.*)?'
fcontext -a -t ssh_home_t '/home/git/.ssh(/.*)?'
fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/home/git/gitlab/public(/.*)?'
fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/home/git/repositories(/.*)?'
EOF
restorecon -R /home/git
git user's home directory is /var/opt/gitlab instead of /home/git
/var/opt/gitlab directory has no gitlab directori or repositories directory.
How can I configure the seLinux to work with my environment?
I'm currently figuring this out. The documentation is a mix of old and new info and lacks distinction between the standard and "Omnibus" install. The problem is they don't label their socket file properly to allow access by Nginx. I've had success running this after every time I run gitlab-ctl reconfigure:
chcon -t httpd_var_run_t /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse/socket
And also don't forget these bits of setup:
usermod -aG git,gitlab-www nginx
chmod g+rx /var/opt/gitlab/
chown git:git /var/opt/gitlab
As well, I couldn't get Nginx to start with the provided config; I had to create a proxy cache directory:
mkdir /usr/share/nginx/proxy_cache
restorecon -vFR /usr/share/nginx
chown nginx /usr/share/nginx/proxy_cache/
Just had this issue myself (I'm even also using a CentOS server) and was able to solve it using the command posted by miken32
chcon -t httpd_var_run_t /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse/socket
In my case I installed the Omnibus gitlab-ce package using the docs provided by Gitlab
Afterwards I followed the instructions for Using a non-bundled web-server. If you read carefully you'll notice the 5. Download the right web server configs paragraph that contains a link GitLab recipes repository.
Follow this link and you will find the configs for multiple different web server including the ones for nginx. Be careful since within the nginx web server directory you will be redirected to the GitLab official repository again...
Download the required config (with or without SSL etc.) into the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory (this is special for at least CentOS). Carefully inspect the downloaded file since you will need to modify it with correct paths for the Omnibus package.
Also don't forget to give nginx access to git group as mentioned in the documentation. I'm not sure if really necessary but my nginx user is also member of the gitlab-www group.
After all this I was still unable to launch the gitlab site. The browser just showed up with the 502 error page.
The /var/log/nginx/gitlab-error.log showed a permission denied error for the workhorse socket which lead me to this page and can be solved (at least in my case) with the command provided by miken32.

sudo service nginx reload wrong path?

here's the problem I face.
after sudo service nginx reload
I saw these messages
As you see, the configuration file path is
/opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
But I expect it to be
/etc/nginx/site-enabled/my_app.conf
how should I change the nginx config path?
[updated] Here's the message of nginx -V

nginx wont start after it was killed

I am very new to nginx, and I accidentally killed the nginx process and now it wont start. "sudo service nginx start" gives me no output but I can't see the process when I run "ps -aux". I may have done some change in some of the config files, but I think I managed to revert all my changes.
When I type sudo nginx -t I get:
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
I have also checked all the files in /var/log/nginx, but they have not any logs since I killed the process.
Thanks in advance,
Markus
From your rpm -qa output it seems your OS is CentOS 7.x
To check the nginx status you should use:
systemctl status nginx
To start the nginx service use:
systemctl start nginx
If it returns error and won't start you could issue also a journalctl -xe to get additional information and see why the service didn't start

"configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed": How do I know why this happened?

I'm an nginx noob trying out this this tutorial on nginx 1.1.19 on ubuntu 12.04. I have this nginx config file.
When I run this command the test fails:
$ sudo service nginx restart
Restarting nginx: nginx: [crit] pread() "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/csv" failed (21: Is a directory)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
How do I know why the nginx.conf test failed?
sudo nginx -t should test all files and return errors and warnings locations
This particular commands worked for me.
sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx nginx-full nginx-common
and
sudo apt-get install nginx

The first solution is to test nginx conf using the basic
sudo nginx -t
Secondly, if you've changed the file yourself, copy/pasted json from one to another, there's a high chance that there's an encoding issue.
For example: " is not the same as
``
Try to write configurations by yourself. Check commas, colon and braces. Don't forget to reload the nginx.
sudo systemctl reload nginx
If you want to check syntax error for any nginx files, you can use the -c option.
[root#server ~]# sudo nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/my-server.conf
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/my-server.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/my-server.conf test is successful
[root#server ~]#
Show file and track error
systemctl status nginx.service

Nginx Invalid PID number

I issued a nginx -s stop and after that I got this error when trying to reload it.
[error]: invalid PID number "" in "/var/run/nginx.pid"
That /var/run/nginx/pid file is empty atm.
What do I need to do to fix it?
nginx -s reload is only used to tell a running nginx process to reload its config. After a stop, you don't have a running nginx process to send a signal to. Just run nginx (possibly with a -c /path/to/config/file)
in my case I solved this by starting the service.
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
The command above will start the service in Debian/Ubuntu. It will issue an error if there is any problem (like Apache listening in the same port)
After that nginx -s reload will work like a charm
This will clear out the issue on ubuntu 16.04 and above
sudo service nginx stop
you may need to remove the pid file nginx.pid whose location may be defined in file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf look for line like
cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | grep pid # see if pid file is defined
this line may live in file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
pid /run/nginx.pid; # in file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
if pid file does exist then remove it now
ls -la /var/run/nginx/pid # this file may live elsewhere
ls -la /run/nginx.pid # on Ubuntu 16.04+
after the pid file has been removed lets launch nginx
sudo service nginx start
ps -eaf|grep nginx # confirm its running
sudo nginx -t && sudo nginx -s reload # confirm config is OK
# typical output
# nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
# nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
sudo service nginx stop # issue stop
ps -eaf|grep nginx # confirm it actually stopped
now sanity has been restored and you are free to launch at will
In the latest version(1.2.0) that I downloaded there is no "-s start" option, it will say
nginx: invalid option: "-s start"
You can start nginx by
sudo /etc/nginx/sbin/nginx
The server will be started and then there wont be any Invalid pid number errors.
To avoid downtime with restarting nginx,
ps aux | grep nginx
PID of nginx master process
echo PID > /var/run/nginx.pid
nginx -s reload
In my case nginx was stopped (crashed I assume). Solved the issue by:
service nginx status
nginx stop/waiting
service nginx start
nginx start/running, process 3535
Then nginx -s reload worked like a charm.
I am using nginx/1.8.0 on trusty.
This happens if the nginx process was stopped manually or was killed.
Check if the process is still running:
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:<port> | grep LISTEN
I am on mac, and I reinstall the nginx with:
brew reinstall nginx
Then start the service using brew:
brew services start nginx
On CentOS 7 I done it with this:
sudo systemctl start nginx
#Then check all things are OK
sudo systemctl status -l nginx
For anyone who still has issues, in my case, there was an apache2 server that was running.
You can try debugging what went wrong in your nginx machine by executing this command -
systemctl status nginx
This gave me an insight that the port was already in us by apache2 server.
so you can do sudo service apache2 stop and then do sudo service nginx start.
Docker Alpine users should use
nginx
by using that nginx will be start there is no error by
nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
then reload it by
nginx -s reload
