hi I used two different tutorials to install nginx. LEMP and Redmine one from Linode library. I made the LEMP one work and after restarting nginx I used get message with something about testing and that new config was or wasn’t loaded successfully. Now I get ```auto root@server:~# /etc/init.d/nginx reload Reloading nginx configuration: nginx. ``` It seems to me that init script is exactly the same like was before. any idea how I can get the old more detailed message after restarting nginx? Thank you R.

Hello!

Actually, reload is just sending HUP signal to nginx master process, so nginx just has no chances to say anything as it’s not connected to teminal. Anything it has to say (if something goes wrong) will be written to error\_log. Probably your previous init script either used configtest (nginx -t) before actual reload. Feel free to modify your new init script to do the same. Maxim D. ---

Thank you for your help. R. Posted at Nginx Forum: [http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,130498,130513#msg-130513](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,130498,130513#msg-130513)
