Package: nginx-core Version: 1.22.1-4 Severity: wishlist I'll just copy/paste the really good explanation of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38011
> nginx is configured with --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log. > This makes it impossible to log errors to stderr from the configuration file. > from http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html: >> The first parameter defines a file that will store the log. >> The special value stderr selects the standard error file. > This means that configuring "error_log stderr" will NOT log to stderr, > but to the default error-file, (the compiled-in file). > from http://wiki.nginx.org/InstallOptions: >> After installation, the file name can always be changed >> in the nginx.conf configuration file using the error_log directive. >> By default the file is named prefix/logs/error.log. >> The special "stderr" value tells nginx to log pre-configuration messages to >> the standard error. > Aka when using "stderr" as compile-flag, output will be send to stderr as > expected > This means that currently (error-log-path=file) it is impossible > to log to stderr from the configuration file (you can only specify an > alternative file). > If however nginx would be compiled with error-log-path=stderr, > the configuration could use stderr (to log to stderr) or a file-name. > I have confirmed this by compiling nginx with --error-log-path=stderr I hope this will convince everyone that changing the current default is the right thing to do.
