How to get my webserver to start automatically if my VPS is rebooted?

[Ricky Spanish]

My website went down when my vps provider had maintenance and my vps restarted. It was short maintenance but my site was down for much longer because I did not realize my server was back online quickly... but the webserver not started back up.

How can I make sure my webserver will come back on automatically if I restart my vps?

chkconfig.


Or, check your rc.d's

Debian and nginx.

Run this from the shell:

/usr/sbin/update-rc.d nginx defaults

Then reboot OS to verify:

shutdown -r now
