Issue "Failed to fetch" when run Reverse Proxy Server (nginx) service

[pba]

Hi, when I try to start (or stop) the Reverse Proxy Server (nginx) service, I get the message: "Failed to fetch"
then the switch indicates that the service is running, the same is done when trying to stop the service.
How to check if the service has been properly started or stopped?

Run # systemctl status nginx command via SSH to view status of Nginx.

If Nginx is running it should return something like:

...
Active: active (running) since di 2022-03-29 12:00:40 CEST; 1 weeks 2 days ago
...

@Rasp it works, but with some problems.
What does it mean?

Apparently it's a known bug on Nginx when running Ubuntu 18.04. From what I understand it doesn't impact the use of Nginx. #1952 (systemd[1]: nginx.service: Failed to parse PID from file /run/nginx.pid: Invalid argument) – nginx

There is a Workaround suggested. But if your Nginx is running fine I would not bother.

  sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d
  printf "[Service]\nExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 0.1\n" | \
    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d/override.conf
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo systemctl restart nginx

I was more concerned about the bug from the first post, but everything seems to be working
