hy

i have installed nginx on my web server, i can run the configtest on  
nginx.conf but i would want also check the configuration of my vhost .

When i try diverse handling like this

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c -t  
/etc/nginx/conf/vhosts-available/Site1.conf

all the time i get the same error

- nginx: [emerg] unknown directive “server” in  
/usr/local/nginx/vhosts-available/Site1.conf
- nginx: configuration file  
/usr/local/nginx/vhosts-available/rSite1.conf test failed

My question is do you know theyre is possibility to test vhost conf ?

Cordially

Oliver

By testing your main config, you’re automatically testing all included  
files as well.
