There are many companies that load a web application for you on their servers like say wordpress etc., and since they have other customers on the same server I was curious how they do this w/o having to restart the web server?
If they do restart the web server, it would take down other client sites and that wouldn't be a good situation to be in.
Is it possible with nginx?
Best Answer
should reload your nginx config without restarting nginx or making current sites go down
that said, an nginx restart is normally a lot less than 30 seconds so I would be surprised if that was such a big problem
