Reload Nginx configuration

Solution 1:

Maybe you're not doing it as root?

Try sudo nginx -s reload, if it still doesn't work, you might want to try sudo pkill -HUP nginx.

If your system has systemctl

sudo systemctl reload nginx

If your system supports service (using debian/ubuntu) try this

sudo service nginx reload

If not (using centos/fedora/etc) you can try the init script

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
