NGINX Just Stop Working
-
Sorry, running out the door for a client. I'll grab the logs and post the contents this weekend.
I am running certbot for Let's Encrypt.
-
@NashBrydges Since nginx is running, this should return ok, but you might want to try a
nginx -t -
-
@Obsolesce Yes, all packages are up to date.

Here is the only entry in the NGINX error log for the last time NGINX stopped.
2021/01/08 22:34:03 [error] 847#847: *195 access forbidden by rule, client: 195.154.63.222, server: plextrack.jpslconsulting.ca, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "plextrack.jpslconsulting.ca"The Let's Encrypt log shows no activity immediately before the outage.
Syslog also shows no errors. It has entries from 3AM to 3:155AM and 9:59PM to 10:02PM on the day of the last incident however the outage occurred between 7:06PM and 10:00PM so the only related entries in this log are at the time the outage was discovered and Ubuntu restarted.
-
I also ran the NGINX test and all looks good.

certbot.timer failing?

@black3dynamite I'm not seeing any evidence of this failing in the letsencrypt.log file syslog or nginx logs (both access and error). Would those logs be elsewhere? Obviously I don't want to have to manually renew certs.
-
@NashBrydges letsencrypt.log is the only one I'm aware of. Actually are using systemd to renew your certs or cronjob?
-
@black3dynamite systemd...

If they weren't it wouldn't even start up.

The error log is where it records HTTP errors, not Nginx software errors.

@scottalanmiller Well at this point I'm looking at any log that has "error" in the name. Lol

This should show you what there is for Nginx itself....
grep nginx /var/log/messages -

grep nginx /var/log/messages
/var/log/messagesDoes not exist.

Oh sorry, use Ubuntu's log. That's RHELs.

Which is useful for in a case I've seen where the service was started by other means, and showed all addresses were already in use.

I thought the modern distros these days were
journalctl -forjournalctl|grep blah|less -

I thought the modern distros these days were journalctl -f or journalctl|grep blah|less
Just another way to see the same thing.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah, those log messages are in the syslog file in Ubuntu. The only log entries in syslog are related to when I rebooted the server. GREP output is too large for those related nginx entries in the log for me to post here but just reviewed every line and no errors that I could find.
