Nginx not starting automatically

[SoftCreatR]

Today, i've set up a new Debian 7 server with Plesk 12. After the basic configuration, i've installed nginx via Plesk updater.

Now, when restarting the whole server, nginx doesnt start for some reason. Plesk shows it as running, but `service nginx status` shows, that it isnt running. But an `nginx.pid` exists in /var/run, but it's empty.

However, starting it manually via `service nginx start` works fine without any error.

I've already tried `update-rc.d nginx remove && update-rc.d nginx defaults` but without any success. I've also tried another init script, but same results.

Any advice?

If you see that ngix process is up and running after server reboot with help of

# ps ax | grep nginx

you should check that `service nginx status` works correctly on your OS. Looks like this is OS related issue.

The problem is not, that `service nginx status` shows, that nginx isnt running. The problem is, that this information is true. Because after a server restart, a webpage using php5-fpm/nginx doesnt load. But it does, if i start nginx manually.

Yes i have the same problem on centos 7, nginx not load after reboot

Please use the information from the Parallels article:

How to enable Nginx on a Parallels Plesk server ( Parallels KB - article 119 595 )​

Please see as well the "Note" ...

Note: The start and stop operations for the Reverse Proxy Server (Nginx) listed above do not just start and stop the Nginx service. They also switch the web server configuration for all the domains in Plesk (an Nginx and Apache combination or just an Apache web server).

... to understand, that this is not only a start - script, as in "/etc/init.d".
