Running systemctl stop httpd or nginx hangs for 90 seconds Print

Problem Description

• Running systemctl stop httpd or systemctl stop nginx hangs for 90 seconds (timeout).
• You are running CentOS 8
• Yet KILL -SIGWINCH {$PROC_ID} works fine to kill the process.

Problem Resolution

The source of the issue is Phusion Passenger. We haven't yet determined what part of Passenger is causing the issue. For now removing it is the only working solution:

yum remove passenger

.
