Description
Consider this conf line:
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined if=0;
Works correctly when nginx run with sudo. But if not then we get the following error:
nginx: [emerg] open() "/var/log/nginx/access.log" failed (13: Permission denied)
The thing is, because the if condition is zero then surely it should not even be trying to access /var/log/nginx/access.log, or?
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The
if=conditions are evaluated at runtime and don't affect opening of log files - they only specify if a particular request will be logged to the log in question. Regardless of the conditions specified the file will be opened. If you don't want nginx to open the file - comment out theaccess_logdirective.
