After installing Pagoda Panel on a Windows system and Nginx fails to start automatically, here are some possible solutions:
1. Check the service status: Open the Windows Service Manager and look for the service named "nginx". Confirm that the status of the service is "Started". If the service is not started, right-click it and select "Start".
2. Set the service to start automatically: right-click the "nginx" service and select "Properties" in the pop-up menu. In the properties dialog box, set the "Startup type" to "Automatic" to ensure that the Nginx service is automatically started every time the system starts.
3. Check port occupation: Make sure that the port used by Nginx is not occupied by other applications. By default, Nginx uses port 80 as the HTTP access port and port 443 as the HTTPS access port. Open Task Manager and check if any other programs are using these ports. If there is a conflict, you can modify the port number in the Nginx configuration file and then restart the Nginx service.
4. Check the firewall settings: Make sure the firewall does not block Nginx access. Go into Windows Firewall settings and ensure that the inbound rules for the Nginx service allow access.
5. Reinstall Nginx: If none of the above methods solve the problem, you can try reinstalling Nginx. First stop the currently running Nginx service, then uninstall the Pagoda panel, and reinstall the Pagoda panel and the Nginx components in it.
