Description
Starting nginx via systemctl might result in the systemd error
"Failed to start A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server.".
Suggestion:
In case nginx could not be started, log the cause detailed in /var/log/nginx/error.log.
Defining *detailed*: In case of a faulty config file under /etc/nginx/sites-available, state the full qualified file path and the line, that caused the error. If the line cannot be determined, state the information that caused the problem. E.g. "ssl.key path "/yadayada.key" could not be found.
The error level of this error should be CRITICAL (log on every log level), as it prevents the application to start.
Actual:
Nothing is logged on behalf of ngnix.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
As long as nginx cannot start due to its own problems, for example, due to configuration errors, it logs appropriate errors at the "emerg" level, with detailed information in the log message, including full path and line. For example:
The same error is also printed to stderr (and can be seen via
systemctl status nginxin case of systemd).If you don't see the error, most likely the cause of the error is not under nginx control.
