upgrading binary

[Riku Räisänen]

I'm asking this again since I haven't found the solution yet. (It's  
fine as long as my servers stay up and the old binary runs..)


I've been trying to upgrade my nginx by sending the USR2 (as root and  
nginx) signal to it without any success.

error log:

2007/08/30 17:36:04 [notice] 15169#0: signal 12 (SIGUSR2) received,  
changing binary
2007/08/30 17:36:04 [notice] 15169#0: changing binary
2007/08/30 17:36:04 [alert] 27578#0: execve() failed while executing  
new binary process "nginx" (13: Permission denied)
2007/08/30 17:36:04 [notice] 15169#0: start new binary process 27578
2007/08/30 17:36:04 [notice] 15169#0: signal 17 (SIGCHLD) received
2007/08/30 17:36:04 [notice] 15169#0: new binary process 27578 exited  
with code 1

nginx binary is executable and owned by root.

I've tried chowning the binary to nginx:nginx (the user/group defined  
in nginx.conf) and it doesn't help.

What does the error permission denied mean? What am I doing wrong?
