I myself can execute any command with respect to the nginx service. but the pid is still in /run/nginx.pid :-D which shows that the process is running and I can still access the sites. but the dead service is scary and quiet, and I do not even need to say that if I need to restart nginx, I will not be able to because I can not!

I really appreciate your help.

systemctl status nginx:

You started nginx manually, outside of systemd. This is why systemd can't start it again. You can simply kill the manually started nginx and then you will be able to restart the service properly.

  • Thank you so much for answer. But, I can not interpret this event, because it accuses block error by UFW, and because I stopped the UFW I could start the service normally? with the same command that was prevented from using> service nginx Start, I did not even need to restart, I'm scared, I created a scrip with cronjob every 5 min. which makes a grep with the output of nginx status, if it finds "dead", disable UFW, start nginx, sleep 6 sec. echo "yes" | enable ufw, I'm scared of it!

  • I see nothing relevant to ufw here. Why do you start and stop ufw?

  • It's like I said before, I tried to stop/start/restart the service in every way ... /etc/init.d/ngi... /usr/sbin/ngi... systemctl star... service ngi... nothing it worked, and they all said the same error I posted in the ask .. UFW block, so I did: ufw disable, and simply and simply nginx started with service nginx start and the status is back active (running) now
