Nginx error, my sites are all gone

Ckubs · Post by **Ckubs** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 1:13 pm

Everything was normal till today when none of them were resolved by the server. Nginx was stopped and didn't wanted to start.

The error I get is

nginx: [emerg] "alias" directive is not allowed here in /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf:103
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Thank you for your help.

look carefully, there is a syntax error in you /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf at line 103.

Sometimes (sparingly) the scripts fail to parse all paramteres correctly and write some orphan text that causes syntax error.

If you can figure out, post your /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf here

Apparently line 103 before "# Error pages" is blank.

I can't figure out the problem out of my sight,

can you do config test for nginx and paste the results:

Code: Select all

nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t

and then

Code: Select all

nginx -c /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf -t

Code: Select all

nginx -c /home/admin/conf/web/snginx.conf -t

First error I got was nginx: [emerg] "alias" directive is not allowed here in /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf:52

Deleted what looked like a leftover alias. And now I get

"server" directive is not allowed here in /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf:1

Try to rebuild the user. v-rebuild-user admin or in the control panel.

Thank you so much. It worked.

Looks like there was a duplicated section.

Code: Select all

    location /vstats/ {
        alias   /home/admin/web/site.info/stats/;
        include /home/admin/web/site.info/stats/auth.conf*;
    }

    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/phpmyadmin.inc*;
    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/phppgadmin.inc*;
    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/webmail.inc*;

    include     /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.site.info.conf*;
}
        alias   /home/admin/web/site.ro/stats/;
        include /home/admin/web/site.ro/stats/auth.conf*;
    }

    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/phpmyadmin.inc*;
    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/phppgadmin.inc*;
    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/webmail.inc*;

    include     /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.site.ro.conf*;
}

Should be

Code: Select all

    location /vstats/ {
        alias   /home/admin/web/site.info/stats/;
        include /home/admin/web/site.info/stats/auth.conf*;
    }

    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/phpmyadmin.inc*;
    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/phppgadmin.inc*;
    include     /etc/nginx/conf.d/webmail.inc*;

    include     /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.site.info.conf*;
