A team maintains NGINX configs in a Git repository. They want to test a new configuration on a staging server without affecting the production config. The staging server has NGINX installed from source at /usr/local/nginx. What is the safest way to test the new config?

Replace /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf with the new file and run `nginx -t`

Run `nginx -t -c /path/to/new/nginx.conf`

Copy the new config to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and run `nginx -t`

Run `nginx -s reload` with the new config in place

A server has NGINX installed from a source build with --prefix=/opt/nginx. The admin runs `nginx -V` and sees `--conf-path=/opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf`. They want to use a different core config file for a one-time test. Which command is correct?

nginx -t -c /tmp/test/nginx.conf

export NGINX_CONF=/tmp/test/nginx.conf && nginx -t

nginx -s reload -c /tmp/test/nginx.conf

mv /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf /tmp/test/nginx.conf
