Failed to modify server : An Nginx virtual host with the same name already exists

I have a same error in CentOS6 virtualmin6.

and I find that there is no file in below

/etc/rc.d/init.d

it should be there but no file such as "php-fcgi-example-com"

AND there is no script such a below in nginx.conf fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/1495xxxxxx5959.sock/socket;

Maybe　YES

Hello, I am experiencing a similar issue on a CentOS 7 + nginx:

Failed to modify server : An Nginx virtual host with the same name already exists

This happens when trying to create a new virtual server. The server is created but the "Enabled features > Nginx Website Enabled" stays deselected, and on attempting to enable it I get the error: "Failed to modify server : An Nginx virtual host with the same name already exists"

The "Webalizer reporting enabled?" feature presents the same issue (remains deselected and cannot be enabled).

Then on deleting the virtual host, its server block does not get removed from /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. And incidentally, this file seems to include all of the virtual hosts as opposite to having a separate nginx conf file for each separate host. I would suggest escalating this issue to critical as far as CentOS 7 + nginx support.

I think the cause of this error is maybe ”wbm-virtualmin-nginx 2.3-1"

OK, in my testing on CentOS 7, it looks like the only thing that is failing is that nginx isn't restarting when Webmin tells it to restart. Restarting it manually allows the new virtual host (server block) to show up, and I'm able to browse the newly created domain. But, I didn't get any of the errors y'all have mentioned, so you're seeing something other than merely nginx failing to restart.

I'm gonna figure out why nginx isn't restarting, and we'll get that sorted in Virtualmin.

But...all this other stuff, I can't reproduce so far. So, I need more specifics about what you've changed from the defaults, or whether it was installed with any flags other than --bundle LEMP. Was it a --minimal installation? There were some bugs with Webalizer and AWStats being enabled even though they don't get installed, so you have to make sure you've got the Webalizer feature and AWstats plugin disabled before doing anything with virtual servers (re-check configuration will warn you about this, but it won't stop you from trying to create virtual hosts anyway and getting botched configuration probably).

Hi Joe, thank you so much for taking the time to answer.

The main issue I am experiencing is that after creating a new virtual host, the option "Nginx website enabled?" appears deselected and when trying to enable it the error "Failed to modify server : An Nginx virtual host with the same name already exists" is thrown. I tried manually restarting nginx to no avail.

The CentOS 7 server has a default install of Virtualmin from the install script and there are already 3 other virtual servers that were created successfully earlier, so this issue might be a recently introduced one.

The "Webalizer reporting enabled?" option being deselected is probably a consequence of the disabled "Nginx website enabled?". By the way with nginx I found that the stats folder needs to be manually protected with "auth_basic" directive in the nginx conf file but other than that Webalizer seemed to be working fine with nginx for the previously created virtual servers.

AFTER update to wbm-virtualmin-nginx 2.4-1

I cannot create virtualserver correctly, show you my getting logs.

I had installed just like below.

https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/web/nginx

I can restart nginx, not failing to restart nginx.

if it is "wbm-virtualmin-nginx 2.2-1" in CentOS6.9.

I have a "no" error to create virtualserver.

I'm running Webmin/Virtualmin on Debian 8.9. After updated different packages, I also got error during the creation of virtualserver.

Starting PHP FastCGI server .. .. Nginx website failed! : virtualmin-nginx::feature_setup failed : virtualmin-nginx::feature_save_web_php_mode failed : No PHP command found! at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 1433.

The creation was incomplete! If I deleted the virtualserver, the Nginx's virtualhost was not deleted. I need to manually delete the virtualhost in Nginx before I can re-create it again!

Thanks to @irieyuusuke, After I downgraded "webmin-virtualmin-nginx" to 2.2 then I had no problem in creating the virtualserver now!

@alabamaster1337

apt-get install webmin-virtualmin-nginx=2.2

Had the same problem. Debian 8.9. 1. When moving domain from subserver to a new parent server (newuser and newpassword options used) - lost php-fcgi script. 2. When deleting domain, /etc/nginx/sites-available file was left intact 3. When creating new - php error "No PHP command found!"

downgrading webmin-virtualmin-nginx to 2.2 helped

I had same trouble, but solved it by downgrading.

yum downgrade wbm-virtualmin-nginx-2.2-1

same problem here (maybe after upgrading to 6)

I opened an issue here: https://github.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-gpl/issues/41

Same problem Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Package name webmin-virtualmin-nginx Update system APT Package description Webmin module for 'Nginx Webserver' Current state Running latest 2.3 Installed version 2.3 Available version 2.3
