LKBEN11756: How to test the configuration file from nginx?


Symptom

You need to install nginx and the config file needs to be checked.

Cause

-

Solution

To test the default configuration you can use the following command:

nginx -t

This will test your default configuration file. It will show you the errors and the config file it checked.

Here an example of the output:

nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/etc/pki/nginx/server.crt": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:80000002:system library::No such file or directory:calling fopen(/etc/pki/nginx/server.crt, r) error:10000080:BIO routines::no such file)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed


If you want to check a certain file, you can use:

nginx -t -c /opt/your_config_file.conf

Have fun.
