从Rails应用程序中重新加载Nginx配置

Question

I have a multi-app system running on a centOS box, that consists of our main app and a deployer app. when a client wants a new instance of our app, they use our deployer, fill in some info and the new install is created on our server. the issue i am having is that i can't get nginx to reload it's config file automatically. so after the deploy when visiting the new app we receive a 404 until i reload manually.

I've tried a few different ways including chmod /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx to 777, chmod the install script and deployer app to 777,

the script goes like this:

#create install directory -- works correctly
#copy files over -- works correctly
#run install script
##-- and then at this point i've tried multiple lines, including:
system("nginx -s reload") ## this works manually
system("/etc/init.d/nginx reload") ## this works manually

i've followed directions here: Restart nginx without sudo? to create a script to run without a sudo password and then tried this:

system("sudo /var/www/vhosts/deployer/lib/nginx_reload")

nothing seems to work, i'm assuming this is a permissions error, but maybe i'm wrong, if anyone could point me in any direction, that would be very helpful since i've been trying to figure this out for a few days too long and i'm fresh out of new ideas

Answer 1

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
