Nginx doesn´t start without any output

cyprus · Jun 3, 2013

I run a LEMP System on a Hetzner Server with Debian Squeeze and after some challenges, it worked without many problems.
But yesterday I ran into a problem.
I ran an upgrade of some progs and after the upgrade the apache and nginx seems to bee off. So I turned Apache off and tried to start nginx.
without any output:
This is my test:

root@squeeze:~# fuser -n tcp 80
root@squeeze:~# /etc/init.d/nginx
root@squeeze:~# /etc/init.d/nginx stop
root@squeeze:~# /etc/init.d/nginx start
root@squeeze:~# ps auxw | grep nginx
root 23148 0.0 0.0 7548 860 pts/0 S+ 17:34 0:00 grep nginx
root@squeeze:~# killall nginx
nginx: no process found
root@squeeze:~# killall -9 nginx
nginx: no process found

I checked the log files but couldn´t find any significant.
Tried this:

root@squeeze:~# sh -x /etc/init.d/nginx start
+ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+ DAEMON=/usr/sbin/nginx
+ NAME=nginx
+ DESC=nginx
+ [ -f /etc/default/nginx ]
+ . /etc/default/nginx
+ test -x /usr/sbin/nginx
+ exit 0

Now I ran out of ideas and searching the web didn´t help me.
Thanx in advance for any hint

Take a look at /etc/init.d/nginx and try to find out where it may possibly exit; then perform the same checks on the command line. That way you should be able to find out where and why the init script stops.

It looks quite common to me :

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

if [ -z "$PID" ]
then

fi

if [ -n "$ULIMIT" ]; then

fi

test_nginx_config() {
set +e
OUTPUT=`$DAEMON -t $DAEMON_OPTS 2>&1`
retvar=$?
if [ $retvar -ne 0 ]
then
echo "Configuration test failed!" >&2
echo -n "$OUTPUT\n"
exit $retvar
fi
set -e
}

start() {
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PID \
--retry 5 --exec $DAEMON --oknodo -- $DAEMON_OPTS
}

stop() {

}

;;

echo "Usage: $NAME {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status|configtest}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0

I get no result careless wich command I try.
