  • NGINX Stop Running - worker process exited on signal 9

I have a server that went down last night, NGINX appeared to just have stopped running. I'm just trying figure out why so I can make sure it doesn't happen again. Google did not really help, just others with the same issue with no solutions. Server ran fine for month but a few days ago I did update WordOps and I did add a new WordPress website too it. Nothing crazy on the site just a brochure kind of setup.

A reboot got it back up, before the reboot I check the error logs in /var/log/nginx/error.log and this is the only thing in there that seems to coorelate to the

2023/01/26 20:50:16 [alert] 10892#10892: worker process 10996 exited on signal 9

But Googling did not provide me with much more context.

Thanks

How much memory on that server? And how many sites?
Adding 1 site may not seem much but if resources are tight it could make all the difference.

    marty it is just 2GB but also it's just two brochure websites and it was on off peak hours.

      install sysstat and monitor the server resources if going above threshold upgrade it
