Nextcloud on Pi: Nginx can't be restarted

FredAnna · September 10, 2020, 9:49am

Support intro

Nextcloud installation on raspi as mentioned here
https://canox.net/2016/06/die-eigene-cloud-mit-dem-raspberry-pi-und-nextcloud/

After stopping nginx to renew a certificate via certbot I can’t restart it. I am getting errors although I didn’t touch /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Nextcloud version: 18.0.6
Operating system and version: Debian 10 „Buster“
Nginx version: 1.14.2
PHP version: 7.3

The issue you are facing:
After stopping nginx to renew a certificate via certbot I can’t restart it. I am getting errors although I didn’t touch /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Any help/hint whatsoever ist greatly appreciated.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Y

Steps to replicate it:

sudo systemctl start nginx.service
–> Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status nginx.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

This is my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Since I am new here I am wondering why there a no replies.
Did I post in the wrong category? Or did I oversee any other prerequisite?

Please read my next post before this!

Try to change this in default file if you still get the error after you moved the default.safe file into another directory.

upstream php-handler {
 #server 127.0.0.1:9000;
 server unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
}

to

upstream php-handler {
 server 127.0.0.1:9000;
 #server unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
}

Now I see you have a
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default.save
And a
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
File.

Please move the file default.save to another directory. Maybe this is just a backup of the default file so it shouldn’t be considered by nginx.

Please perform the move of the file before you change any content of the file.

FredAnna · September 18, 2020, 8:30am

Thank you, TorstenH very much!

That´s the solution. I moved the file - there were even more saved files - to another directory. After that I was able to start nginx.

Best regards
FredA

Great. Maybe an update script made a backup of the file.
I’m happy it works for you, now.
