Quick Commands

restarting nginx

testing the nginx configuration

configurations for nginx

Error log use

at any point if there is odd behavior, throw in an error log command and test. since these logs can balloon quickly - leave them off unless you really need to figure out what has gone wrong

Note on using alias

note that the location can be referenced as either /d or /d/ and the extra / should be used so that it is an explicit match to the single letter route. Otherwise nginx will assume the letter is part of the search and pass along the wrong uri.

for example, the following error occurs if /f is used over /f/

Things that have gotten bil and kara

The missing last character in alias

the log shows an error to find a file - and that error shows the file path missing the last character

reason: nginx is looking for the alias to be a folder path ending in "/"
