Macos – Locate the nginx.conf file the nginx is actually using

macosnginxsysadmin

Working on a client's server where there are two different versions of nginx installed. I think one of them was installed with the brew package manager (its an osx box) and the other seems to have been compiled and installed with the nginx packaged Makefile. I searched for all of the nginx.conf files on the server, but none of these files define the parameters that nginx is actually using when I start it on the server. Where is the nginx.conf file that I'm unaware of?

Running nginx -t through your commandline will issue out a test and append the output with the filepath to the configuration file (with either an error or success message).

Errors are stored in the nginx log file. You can specify it in the root of the nginx configuration file:

error_log  /var/log/nginx/nginx_error.log  warn;

On Mac OS X with Homebrew, the log file was found by default at the following location:

/usr/local/var/log/nginx

Putting the include /etc/nginx/mime.types; under location / { instead of under http { solved the issue for me.
