Restarting nginx: nginxnginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.

问题:

When I try to restart nginx with sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart I get the message from the subject.

I discovered that the reason is most likely that the script doesn't know how to stop the deamon because the pid file (/var/run/nginx.pid) is not created on start.

I have two installations on two different servers... one was compiled from source and the other came with phusion passenger.

I tried this command:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid --exec /usr/sbin/nginx -- -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

on both machines and on one the pid file is created and on the other it is not - on that machine the paths are a bit different (but I don't think this is relevant):

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid --exec /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx -- -c /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

The process starts and pid is not written...

I'm on Debian...

Any suggestions?

The solution is to uncomment this line in nginx.conf:

pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

It looks like different installations do it differently but the right thing is to uncomment it.

I was able to fix this by running the following fuser command

$ sudo fuser -k 80/tcp

which kills whatever process is using port 80..hopefully didn't screw anything else.

$ sudo nginx -t 

to see all processes, sometimes you do not have the full permission
