nginx command: start, stop and detailed explanation of command parameters

In the previous basic PHP tutorial, I introduced the Nginx+PHP5 (FastCgi) installation and configuration tutorial, which involves the basic operation command of nginx - the nginx startup command. In order to better let PHP run on nginx, we need to master some basics nginx commands, such as starting and stopping nginx service commands, reloading nginx when configuration changes, checking nginx configuration file commands, etc. The following is a detailed introduction to the meaning of nginx basic commands and their parameters.

Note: The operating environment of my nginx command is Windows

nginx command: start nginx

After installing nginx on Windows, we need to start the nginx service. There are two main ways to start the command line operation of the nginx service, namely

C:/nginx-0.8.53>start nginx

1	C:/nginx-0.8.53>nginx.exe

Command instructions for starting nginx: It should be noted that since the default port of nginx is also port 80, if the Apache or IIS service is enabled on your machine at this time, be sure to close IIS or Apache before starting nginx service, otherwise the nginx startup command will not succeed.

nginx command: stop nginx

There are two main commands to stop nginx, namely

1

C:/nginx-0.8.53>nginx -s stop

　or

C:/nginx-0.8.53>nginx -s quit

1

The difference between stop and quit parameters of nginx stop command is that stop is to quickly stop nginx and may not be saved. Related information, quit is to stop nginx completely and orderly, and save related information.

　The effects of nginx start and stop commands can be observed through the Process tab in Windows Task Manager. 1

Detailed explanation of other nginx command parameters

nginx -c

This command parameter specifies a new nginx configuration file to replace the default one nginx configuration file, if you are not sure whether the syntax of the new nginx configuration file is correct, you can test it through the -t parameter of the nginx command. The -t parameter means not to run the configuration file, but only to test the configuration file, that is,

nginx -t -c /to/config> nginx version), and nginx -V not only displays nginx version information, but also displays nginx configuration parameter information.

Reload nginx command

1

nginx -s reload

You can use this command to reload when you change nginx configuration information and need to reload these configurations Nginx新 reopen the log file command

nginx -S Reopen

to this, start, stop nginx, check, test nginx configuration files, etc. This completes the introduction of commands. The above introduces the nginx command: start, stop and detailed explanation of command parameters, including the relevant content. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
