Which command tests the configuration file located at /etc/nginx/nginx_test.conf?

nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx_test.conf -T

nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx_test.conf

nginx -s test -c /etc/nginx/nginx_test.conf

nginx -t --config /etc/nginx/nginx_test.conf

A junior administrator edits the main nginx.conf file to add a new server block for a customer's staging site. Before sending a reload request to the running NGINX process, the administrator runs 'nginx -t' and sees 'syntax is ok' but 'test is failed'. What is the most likely cause of this result?

The reload command was sent before the test completed, causing a temporary lock on the configuration file.

The configuration contains a valid syntax but references a file or directory that does not exist.

The configuration file has a missing semicolon at the end of a directive.

The NGINX binary is running with a different configuration file than the one that was edited.

An administrator has just run 'nginx -t' and confirmed the configuration is valid. What is the recommended next step to apply the changes with minimal disruption?

Run 'nginx -t' again to double-check.

Run 'nginx -s stop' and then 'nginx' to restart.
