Alter Config On Startup

Server NGINX

Hello,
I have a SSL section in my nginx.conf file and I want to start up nginx
without SSL enabled. Is this possible without removing the SSL info in
the conf file?

Thanks,
Charlie

Yes. You’ll have to:

  1. Create a script that enables the SSL part. The most viable way
    seems to be through the include directive.

  2. Reload nginx.

  3. Done.

Using sed supposing that you start Nginx without SSL enabled. The SSL
config is in a file sslhost.conf. In the file you have the regular
HTTP config:

server {

HTTP (no SSL)

}

##SSL include sslhost.conf;

sed -i ‘s/##SSL //’

service nginx reload

Now the SSL config is active.

Thanks, was not what I was hoping for but I’ll build it in to a startup
script.
