===== FreeBSD: Start / Stop / Restart Nginx Web Server =====

**Q.** How do I start / stop / restart Nginx webserver under FreeBSD operating systems? How do I test Nginx web server config file syntax before restarting my server?

**A.** FreeBSD comes with Nginx startup script located at /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory.
Update /etc/rc.conf

All you have to do is add following line to your /etc/rc.conf file:

<file>nginx_enable="YES"</file>

Once added use the following command to control nginx web server. You must be root user to control nginx.

**Start Nginx Web Server Command**

<file># /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start</file>

**Stop Nginx Web Server Command**

<file># /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx stop</file>

**Restart Nginx Web Server Command**

<file># /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx restart</file>

**Test Nginx config file for errors**

The -t option will just test the configuration file. nginx checks configuration for correct syntax and then try to open files referred in configuration.
<file># nginx -c /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t</file>
Sample output:

<file>2008/10/09 19:24:26 [info] 52494#0: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
2008/10/09 19:24:26 [info] 52494#0: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf was tested successfully</file>

**Once statisfied, restart / start Nginx:**
<file># /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start</file>
The -c /path/to/config/file specifies which configuration file Nginx should use instead of the default.
