Cant start Nginx on Mac OS X

Server NGINX
1

Sorry for the newbie question. I am new to nginx. i installed it
successfully on my mac, but when i try to start it, i get this error

nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open()
“/opt/local/var/log/nginx/error.log” failed (13: Permission denied)
2011/11/20 22:15:20 [emerg] 1620#0: open()
“/opt/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf” failed (2: No such file or directory)

Can someone please help me resolve this? Thank you

Kofi

Yes but why is it missing? :slight_smile:

I installed the server :frowning: … shouldn’t the installation put that file
there during setup?

i see only these files in the /etc/nginx/ folder

fastcgi.conf koi-win scgi_params.example
fastcgi.conf.example mime.types uwsgi_params
fastcgi_params mime.types.example uwsgi_params.example
fastcgi_params.example nginx.conf.example win-utf
koi-utf scgi_params

Even if it did, you should edit the config anyway. The
nginx.conf.example should help.

make sure that the path /opt/local/etc/nginx/ existed,and give it umask
775.

also,do it under ROOT.

Thanks so much guys. I got all the errors to go away… however, when i
start the server i get this

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (48: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (48: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (48: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (48: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (48: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()

looks like a port conflict to me. i dont know. but i dont have any other
servers running. when i hit http://localhost/ 404 Not Found (
nginx/1.0.8 )

and when i do

nginx -s stop

i can NOT even get a 404 error page. so something is working right at
least. but i still have a blocker.
