Probabaly, in next versions I will remove prefix at all and nginx will get nginx.conf from the current directory. Right now you may set full path in nginx.conf and run nginx as nginx -c d:/nginx1/nginx.conf To control you need to set path to conf file, too: nginx -s reload -c d:/nginx1/nginx.conf ---

I checked my system event log and found an error: “D:\nginx1\nginx.exe: Could not open error log file: CreateFile() “c:/nginx/logs/error.log” failed” So nginx uses the default path “c:/nginx” before it reads the paths from nginx.conf? Is there any chance that I can specify all the paths (i.e. temp, logs, etc) in the configuration file?

Is there any chance that I can specify all the paths (i.e. temp, logs, etc) in the configuration file? Yes: error\_log d:/nginx1/logs/error.log notice; etc. ---
