The latter. It makes little sense. If it’s ignored then there’s no sense in having it.
Much like how the current `nginx -t` report makes little sense as well: nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: [emerg] open() "/var/run/nginx.pid" failed (13: Permission denied) nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed This basically says “config file is fine. I can’t read the pid file, even though I’ve been given permission to. the config file failed." > On Jul 14, 2017, at 10:58 PM, Francis Daly <fran...@daoine.org> wrote: > > If you are reporting that you invoke "nginx" as the super-user ("root") > and it ignores the "user" directive in nginx.conf, that sounds to me > like a bug that should be raised. > > If you are reporting that you invoke "nginx" as a non-root user, and it > warns that the "user" directive in nginx.conf will be ignored, that is > the expected behaviour. _____________ Rich in Toronto @ VP _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
