更改默认的Nginx位置

Question

I am stuck in a scenario. I had nginx already installed on my linux server at /etc/nginx/ but it did not has passenger mod enabled. So i run

passenger-install-nginx-module

to but then in the wizard i chosen the option 1 to download and configure fresh nginx because i did not know the "source" location of previously installed nginx. So it downloaded and configure the nginx but at different location: /opt/nginx/

Now the problem is server is getting only previously installed at /etc/nignx/ .

Do i have to change the default location somewhere? IF yes, then how? i couldnt find it anywhere on google.

Answer 1

您可以简单地将/ etc / nginx备份到某个位置，将其删除，然后使用ln /opt/nginx /etc -s进行符号链接，以将两个位置都指向同一位置。

Answer 2

stop the nginx process running at /etc/nginx and then start the server from /opt/nginx.

 sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx

will start nginx. You should have the root path set properly in the nginx conf.
