Hello, I am encountering a problem while updating my nginx server. I first configured and built the new version 1.1.11. I then stopped the server, checked it has been done, executed the make install and checked the configuration with the ‘-t’ option which was OK. I then started the new version, but I am still seeing the 1.0.9 number in the header of the pages loaded in my browser. I hit F5 several times to be sure it wasn’t the cache. What did I miss? ## Thanks for your help, _B. R._ ---

F5 → usually reload (loads from cache if possible - check network panel on firebug or chrome browser inspector for confirmation) Ctrl + F5 → reload without fetching from cache. > What did I miss? Perhaps the above. Also try to use something like curl for checking, not a browser: curl -I Check the headers. — appa ---

Hi everyone, First of all: shame on me! :oP I deleted the whole nginx directory, reinstalled the new version… and the headers still got stuck on 1.0.9… Then… I discovered that the executable used was /usr/local/sbin/nginx and not /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx… Is the first file a link? Yes, but not symbolic… I wiped it out, recreated it as symbolic and now I get the 1.1.11 up and running :o) ## Thanks for your time btw, _B. R._ ---

Thanks Sharl, Antonio, Sharl, I used the ‘sudo make install’ command to be sure the install would get the admin rights. ‘which nginx’ won’t work, but ‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -v’ gives me the 1.1.11 version. Antonio, I tried your commands, but I already had my browser configured so that its cache is deleted when I exit. I tried again this morning after I booted my computer again and I still gets the 1.0.9 header version… I made a chown on the /usr/local/nginx’ directory so the nginx user and a group not related to it are the owners of all the files inside. I remember having seen some subdirectories (such as ‘conf’) owned by the user root and not nginx. Does that could have an impact? I doubt it, since the ‘other’ rights are still set to ‘read’. It was maybe one of my ‘security’ tweaks of which I don’t really know the useness. ## If anyone has an idea apart from wiping out the whole directory (which would be far away the ‘hot update’ feature idea planted in nginx), I would be glad to take it… _B.
