Upgrade Forge server from nginx 1.15.8

In general, upgrading nginx can be done like so

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade nginx

So the reason it might not update anything is because you're running on an older server as well since you use PHP 5.6. So what ubuntu version do you run?

It's recommended to update to a newer ubuntu version as well. In most cases, it's easier to spin up a new server. Deploy your application to the new server and switch your DNS to the new server.

Thanks for your help @bobbybouwmann, I really appreciate it.

The server is running 18.04.

Am I reading your message correctly - I could run the command that you provided and it might actually do not because of the old PHP version?

It might not update because of an older OS version. However, 18.04 should be good enough and should be supported until the latest version.

Just run it and see what happens ;)

This is what it returns when run:

nginx is already the newest version (1.15.8-0+bionic0).

It sounds like perhaps I'm running into the problem you described? Is there some way to force a more recent version? Or perhaps change the repository version of nginx?

Thanks for your help @bobbybouwmann , I appreciate it.

I was able to figure this out by following the instructions here:

For anyone else looking to do this same thing, a few notes:

• The nginx installation process created a file that I had to delete (/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf)
• I didn't need to do anything in the "Setting the Nginx Process User" section or any of the sections after that in the tutorial

Very odd that you needed to deleted the config file... Anyway, glad you fixed it!
