ANGIE(8) System Manager's Manual ANGIE(8) NAME Angie -- HTTP and reverse proxy server, mail proxy server SYNOPSIS angie [-?hqTtVvmM] [-c file] [-e file] [-g directives] [-p prefix] [-s signal] [--help] [--build-env] [--log-level=level] DESCRIPTION Angie is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server. It is known for its high performance, sta- bility, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consump- tion. The options are as follows: -?, -h, --help Print help. -c file Use an alternative configuration file. -e file Use an alternative error log file. Special value stderr in- dicates that the standard error output should be used. -g directives Set global configuration directives. See "EXAMPLES" for de- tails. -p prefix Set the prefix path. The default value is /usr/local/etc/angie. -q Suppress non-error messages during configuration testing. -s signal Send a signal to the master process. The argument signal can be one of: stop, quit, reopen, reload. The following table shows the corresponding system signals: stop SIGTERM quit SIGQUIT reopen SIGUSR1 reload SIGHUP -m Show built-in modules and exit. -M Show built-in and loaded modules, then exit. -T Same as -t, but additionally dump configuration files to standard output. -t Do not run, just test the configuration file. Angie checks the configuration file syntax and then tries to open files referenced in the configuration file, including binding to configured listen addresses. -V Print the Angie version, compiler version, and configure script parameters. -v Print the Angie version. --build-env Show build environment and exit. --log-level=level Set initial error log level. SIGNALS The master process of Angie can handle the following signals: SIGINT, SIGTERM Shut down quickly. SIGHUP Reload configuration, start the new worker process with a new configuration, and gracefully shut down old worker processes. SIGQUIT Shut down gracefully. SIGUSR1 Reopen log files. SIGUSR2 Upgrade the Angie executable on the fly. SIGWINCH Shut down worker processes gracefully. While there is no need to explicitly control worker processes normally, they support some signals too: SIGTERM Shut down quickly. SIGQUIT Shut down gracefully. SIGUSR1 Reopen log files. DEBUGGING LOG To enable a debugging log, reconfigure Angie to build with debugging: ./configure --with-debug ... and then set the debug level of the error_log: error_log /path/to/log debug; It is also possible to enable the debugging for a particular IP address: events { debug_connection 127.0.0.1; } ENVIRONMENT The ANGIE environment variable is used internally by Angie and should not be set directly by the user. FILES /var/run/angie.pid Contains the process ID of Angie. The contents of this file are not sensitive, so it can be world-readable. /usr/local/etc/angie/angie.conf The main configuration file. /var/log/angie/error.log Error log file. EXIT STATUS Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. EXAMPLES Test configuration file ~/myangie.conf with global directives for PID and quantity of worker processes: angie -t -c ~/myangie.conf \ -g "pid /var/run/myangie.pid; worker_processes 2;" SEE ALSO For online documentation, technical support, and bug reports, please refer to https://en.angie.software.
