You can’t stop nginx when use these command:
service nginx stop
nginx -s stop
and see error:
open() "/var/run/nginx.pid" failed
Step 1: run this command:
ps -ef | grep nginx
Result:
[root@tutorialspots ~]# ps -ef | grep nginx root 14234 1 0 05:01 ? 00:00:00 nginx: master process nginx nobody 14235 14234 0 05:01 ? 00:00:00 nginx: worker process root 14250 12892 0 05:23 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto nginx
Step 2: kill process
kill -9 14234
kill -9 14235
Now you can start nginx.
