I installed Passenger and Nginx on Ubuntu 12.10 using the following command: passenger-install-nginx-module (following instructions at www.modrails.com/documentation/Users guide Nginx.html). When I ran into problems installing my SSL certificate, I found that command line tools like "Nginx -V" produced the following output: "The program 'nginx' can be found in the following packages..."

Update: I've succeeded in configuring SSL correctly using the instructions at the following link: https://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/configuration/ssl

I still need to know how to run Nginx commands from the command line. No problems starting and stopping it using the scripts I installed to /etc/init.d/nginx. The nginx install directory is /opt/nginx.

  • Why? I'd just start-stop it with the scripts in init.d, or upstart.. What exactly are you trying to achieve? – Tom O'Connor Jun 01 '13 at 22:32
  • I would like to know the version of Nginx, I'm running. Every source I've checked tells me to run nginx -V, which doesn't work with my setup. Thank you. – Cleverlemming Jun 02 '13 at 00:07
  • You want to symlink nginx to usr/sbin: `cd /usr/sbin && ln -s /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx` – Tim Baas Jul 17 '14 at 09:37
