I have NGINX running on CentOS7. And I would like to share the /etc/nginx
directory between Linux and Windows.
The reason is that, I don't want to access the file every time I need to change/add hosts or play around with different configurations. For this I mounted the /etc/nginx
dir to a folder on my Windows desktop as:
sudo mount -t vboxsf nginx /etc/nginx
Everything worked, and I can access both file and make an edit, but for some reason NGINX won't restart and this error is all I get.
[root@localhost]# systemctl status nginx.service
