# Reload The nginx Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you've modified or replaced the configuration file, nginx will not
|
|
immediately start using the updated nginx configuration.
|
|
Once a `restart` or `reload` signal is received by nginx, it
|
|
will apply the changes. The `reload` signal
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ service nginx reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
tells nginx to reload the configuration. It will check the validity of the
|
|
configuration file and then spawn new worker processes for the latest
|
|
configuration. It then sends requests to shut down the old worker processes.
|
|
This means that during a *reload* nginx is always up and processing
|
|
requests.
