After installing nginx via puppet on Ubuntu I get the following output: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (13: Permission denied) [warn] 1898#0: the "user" directive makes sense only if the master process runs with super-user privileges, ignored in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1 [emerg] 1898#0: open() "/var/log/nginx/access.log" failed nginx error log stdout (13: Permission denied) How do I get rid of all of these messages? I don't want to use command line directly (chown / chmod) and repeat it every time I create a new server. Therefore, I am thinking of what has to be added to the puppet manifest. What is the best sysadmin practice in this case: to change owner / permissions for /var/log/nginx or to store logs in different location? If chown / chmod is the way to go, which specific permissions would ensure the highest level of security? I tried this, but it didn't help: file { '/var/log/nginx': ensure => directory, mode => '0755', owner => 'www-data', group => 'www-data', recurse => true } Edited: vagrant@precise64:~$ ps aux | grep [n]ginx root 1001 0.0 0.1 62908 1388 ?

When I I try to restart nginx, after editing sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default, I get this fail response: Restarting nginx nginx [fail] I then do nginx -t and get this message: nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (13: Permission denied) 2016/04/28 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/nginx-warnings-how-to-fix 20:06:07 [warn] 6121#0: the "user" directive makes sense only if the master process runs with super-user privileges, ignored in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1 2016/04/28 20:06:07 [emerg] 6121#0: unexpected "}" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:84 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed So what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

2014 08:46AM Registered: 2 years ago Posts: 9 Hi all, I cannot start nginx on Windows. I successfully installed nginx at https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?11,248963,248978 home on a debian wheezy (the "raspbian", in fact, on Raspberry Pi)... but I just followed a tutorial and I am still a newbie! I am trying to reproduce this at http://serverfault.com/questions/370337/run-nginx-as-a-non-root-user work, on my professional PC (Windows 7): I am prospecting this way for my project too :-) I downloaded nginx 1.5.12 from the download page, unzipped it as c:\nginx\nginx.exe (with its error log work folders aside, as in the zip). Without configuring anything, I double cliqued on nginx.exe and got nothing (except one very short blink of the application console, I guess). I then opened a DOS window to launch the server, and got the following errors: D:\Users\phil>c:\nginx\nginx.exe nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: CreateFile() "logs/error.log" failed (3: FormatMessage() error:(15100)) 2014/04/03 11:30:01 [emerg] 2356#6140: nginx error log CreateFile() "D:\Users\phil/conf/nginx.conf" failed (3: FormatMessage() error:(15105)) D:\Users\phil> (see joined bmp file) Note that the first error is also visible in the Windows EventLog Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance, Philippe.

May someone tell me if this working folder can be configured somewhere in nginx? Hope this helps, PHilippe.

When I did that, I got the following error: Starting nginx_main: Starting /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx... nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/opt/nginx/logs/error.log" failed (13: Permission denied) 2012/03/16 18:17:27 [emerg] 859#0: open() "/opt/nginx/logs/access.log" failed (13: Permission denied) The only way I can run it is if I use sudo and it runs the process as root, which is what I don't want. I've chown'd the entire directory (chown -R nginx:nginx /opt/nginx) and I've also chmod -R 755 the directory as well. Adding the user directive as suggested by CS3 also gives me this error, but with an additional line.

It's scary to witness how many people there are on the internet suggesting this as a first port of call to "fix" any problem. Unix won't give friendly feedback if you do something moronic. –user181093 Jul 10 '13 at 20:44 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 10 down vote accepted First of all, init scripts are supposed to be run sudo /etc/init.d/name when you are not logged in as root( when logged-in
