Niginx is primarily a web server, but it can also run as a proxy server, load balancer and a HTTP cache.
If you’re running on Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat or CentOS, the following are several ways of restarting Nginx.
# /etc/init.d/nginx restart # /etc/init.d/nginx reload # service nginx restart # service nginx reload # nginx -s reload |
The last example is more universal and will run in any Linux flavor.
