启动服务器时Nginx自定义配置文件设置不起作用

Question

I am trying to configure the Nginx, PHP on Windows 7 64Bit, such that both PHP & Nginx should always use the path that I have specified to them during startup or in the config files.

Now as for Nginx, I am starting it's server executable with the following VBScript for custom config file loading:

... Vbs code ...
sh.run "cmd /K CD "& NginxPath &" & start nginx", 0
sh.run "cmd /K CD "& NginxPath &" & start nginx -c "& NginxConf, 0
sh.run "cmd /K CD "& NginxPath &" & start nginx -s reload", 0
... Vbs code ...

But it always throws the same error consistently:

2019/01/21 06:53:52 [emerg] 6988#5196: CreateFile() "Custom\Path\mime.types" failed (2: The system cannot find the file specified) in Custom\Path\nginx.conf:18

And even with this error the Server starts but loads the default config file, which shouldn't happen at all.

BTW, the variables NginxPath & NginxConf both have correct Windows Path with proper double-quoting(eg. "C:\\path\\file.conf")

Even if we forget about VBscript, and simply fire below command in CMD, it gives same error:

nginx -c C:\custom\path\nginx.conf

Error

nginx: [emerg] CreateFile() "C:\custom\path\mime.types" failed (2: The system cannot find the file specified) in C:\custom\path\nginx.conf:18

So why is this happening and how to resolve it with using custom conf file as I desire ?

Answer 1

I think somewhere in your custom nginx config file exists following line:

include       mime.types;

Try to add full path to this file (which is located in the same folder where default config file is) to this include directive:

include       C:/path/to/default/config/mime.types;

As alternative, you can place a copy of mime.types file to the same folder where your custom config file is located.
