Hi,

I installed nginx on windows and starting nginx sucessfuly. But when i issued "nginx -s reload", i saw this line:

"nginx: [error] CreateFile() "c:\nginx-1.4.2/logs/nginx.pid" failed (2: The syste
m cannot find the file specified)"

And then I cannot stop nginx service ( i tried restart, shutdown windows, remove nginx folder ... ).

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

I'm not a windows man in any way, but the forward slashes look wrong. Windows uses backslashes (\) and unix/linux use forward slashes (/).

If that isn't the issue: Although LQ users might be familiar with Windows, this is a Linux board. Maybe you should post this question on a Windows dedicated board.

EDIT: Just dug up these 2 links:
