Finally figured it out. I enabled debug mode on the error log. It turns out setting the worker_rlimit_nofile in the nginx.conf was not working. On nginx startup it would say “getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE): 1024:4096". I had already checked the security limits and they were set… I confirmed that the workers were using the worker_rlimit_nofile correctly, but the master was not able to reload correctly.
Solution: Add LimitNOFILE to the system service, on the next nginx start up the debug logs show the correct nolimt! Reloading now works! Hurray!

I’m testing by adding a new location rule and then reloading and it never gets picked up, I have to restart the nginx process and then it finally gets the new config.

It looks like this: ``` [Unit] Description=nginx - high performance web server Documentation=http://nginx.org/en/docs/ After=network-online.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/var/run/nginx.pid ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` You should see if something more like that works for you.
