CORE MODULES 1.1. CORE FUNCTIONALITY 1.1.1 Example Configuration user www www; worker_processes 2; error_log /var/log/nginx-error.log info; events { use kqueue; worker_connections 2048; } ... 1.1.2 Directives accept mutex Syntax: accept_mutex on j off; Default off Context: events If accept_mutex is enabled, worker processes will accept new connections by turn. Otherwise, all worker processes will be notified about new connections, and if volume of new connections is low, some of the worker processes may just waste system resources. There is no need to enable accept_mutex on systems that support the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (1.11.3) or when using reuseport. Prior to version 1.11.3, the default value was on. accept mutex delay Syntax: accept_mutex_delay time; Default 500ms Context: events If accept mutex is enabled, specifies the maximum time during which a worker process will try to restart accepting new connections if another worker process is currently accepting new connections. daemon Syntax: daemon on j off; Default on Context: main Determines whether nginx should become a daemon. Mainly used during development. Nginx, Inc. p.7 of 379 CHAPTER 1. CORE MODULES 1.1. CORE FUNCTIONALITY debug connection Syntax: debug_connection address j CIDR j unix:; Default | Context: events Enables debugging log for selected client connections. Other connections will use logging level set by the error log directive. Debugged connections are specified by IPv4 or IPv6 (1.3.0, 1.2.1) address or network. A connection may also be specified using a hostname. For connections using UNIX-domain sockets (1.3.0, 1.2.1), debugging log is enabled by the \unix:" parameter. events { debug_connection 127.0.0.1; debug_connection localhost; debug_connection
