Running passenger + nginx

Rails
1

hi guys,

Assuming I made some changes to the source code.
My production environment runs on passenger and nginx.

How do I restart passenger and nginx with minimal downtime?

Surely I can’t do a “w” on the terminal because a server will not
always be in zero load.

Would love to hear some recommendations.

PS- I have read on unicorn (Unicorn! - The GitHub Blog) but
would love to hear what we can do for passenger.

thanks

i think i found something.
Just send a SIGHUP signal to the nginx process via kill.
Seems to work well.
Anyone got a better idea? :slight_smile:

thanks

Yep, use: $ kill -HUP <nginx_pid>
