Init.d script for nginx on Cent OS [closed]
Question
I'm using the init.d script from this: http://wiki.nginx.org/RedHatNginxInitScript but this script sucks on my CentOS 5.5 nginx 1.0.6 (which installed by passenger). It sucks for 2 reasons:
When I run
service nginx start
, it start nginx but then do not quit it self.It run in some different runtime path ($PATH) so that rails won't be able to find executables located inside /usr/local/bin (like node.js)
Is there any init.d script that works for you guys (on CentOS or other Redhat based distribution) that does not have these problems?
La solution
The one here: http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/2/2/centos-adding-an-nginx-init-script has worked for me in the past.
You will need to change the paths to "/etc/nginx" instead of "/usr/local/nginx" for instance.
Actually both are similar except that your old one has an additional "MakeDirs" function. Not sure why this may this be needed.
My current one is below:
#!/bin/sh
#
# nginx - this script starts and stops the nginx daemon
#
# chkconfig: - 85 15

# proxy and IMAP/POP3 proxy server
# processname: nginx
# config: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# config: /etc/sysconfig/nginx
# pidfile: /var/run/nginx.pid
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
