Error with app.ini

[RafaElZgz]

My problem is that no matter what I put in the app.ini file, the service ignores it and runs with default values.

I always get the alert that the service is running in debug mode and the port is always 9000. I haven't done anything special, just run the installation script.

I am using ubuntu se 22.04.

Have you restart nginx-ui after modify app.ini?

[RafaElZgz]

Yes, I also tried the command daemon-reload and even a server reboot.

[0xJacky]

This is a bit odd, I just tested changing /usr/local/etc/nginx-ui/app.ini on my server and than restart nginx-ui, it works fine.

[RafaElZgz]

Idk, later I could try to test this on a fresh ubuntu install.

[RafaElZgz]

This is my app.ini

[server]
RunMode = release
HttpPort = 9055
HTTPChallengePort = 9180

nginx-ui.service

Same results on other empty Ubuntu 22.04 machine.

[0xJacky]

edit /usr/local/etc/nginx-ui/app.ini and then run systemctl restart nginx-ui

[RafaElZgz]

Well, in the UI settings the port is what I specified: 9055 but the service is running under default port

[RafaElZgz]

I think there is something bad with the nginx-ui.service

[0xJacky]

The current nginx-ui in your system is already listen on the port you specify and running in background, you do not need to run ./nginx-ui manually. If you want to run it on the frontground, use systemctl stop nginx-ui to kill it, and run nginx-ui -config /path/to/app.ini.

[RafaElZgz]

No, I specified port 9055 and it is running on port 9000.

[RafaElZgz]

The UI is showing what I put on the app.ini but the nginx-ui.service does not use those values.

[0xJacky]

We may need some time to reproduce the issue. Can you please try to use nginx-ui -config /path/to/app.ini to run nginx-ui on the frontground, and see which port it is listening on in the console?

Sorry @RafaElZgz, that was my mistake, I fixed this in 4c54a9e, and it will be released with the next verison.
