I am upgrading nginx to latest 1.4.1 using PPA. repository. 1. After install, do I need to restart it manually, or it is restarted automatically? 2. Is reload enough for the nginx upgrade? Or do I need to restart or stop/start? Thanks. ---

If you are using the apt-get upgrade or aptitude upgrade commands, the service will be restarted for you. You may want to run sudo nginx -t to check for errors. ---

This might be a little off topic, but how can one upgrade nginx on ubuntu with the official ppa via apt without having a restart of nginx but an upgrade instead?

(/etc/init.d/nginx upgrade) Please note, there is no “official ppa”. Official nginx repositories for Ubuntu (and other Linux ditros) are here: [http://nginx.org/en/linux\_packages.html](http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html) wbr, Valentin V.

Bartenev Yes, there is no official PPA. The PPA I and many others use is unofficial, but seems to be well maintained (thanks for that, whoever you are). Someone wanting to use the same unofficial repository may execute the following: add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable apt-get update apt-get install nginx If you want to use the devel version, then replace ppa:nginx/stable with ppa:nginx/development If you don’t have add-apt-repository, then apt-get install python-software-properties. ---

You can download and extract the package and replace all files. But you will have to load the new binary at one time. I might be wrong - but I suppose you can do that gracefully Regards, Axl Am Dienstag, 23.

Sorry for that. Will there be a way of having an upgrade instead of an automatic restart in case of binary/package updates in the future?

Our package already calls ‘/etc/init.d/nginx upgrade’ on update
