running passenger + nginx

rubyonrails-talk
1

hi guys,

   Assuming I made some changes to the source code.   My production environment runs on passenger and nginx.

  How do I restart passenger and nginx with minimal downtime?

  Surely I can't do a "w" on the terminal because a server will not always be in zero load.

Would love to hear some recommendations.

PS- I have read on unicorn (Unicorn! | The GitHub Blog) but would love to hear what we can do for passenger.

thanks

i think i found something. Just send a SIGHUP signal to the nginx process via kill. Seems to work well. Anyone got a better idea? :slight_smile:

thanks

Yep, use: $ kill -HUP <nginx_pid>
