Nginx not running with no error message -

i trying start nginx server. when type "$> /etc/init.d/nginx start", have message appearing "starting nginx:", , nothing happens. there no error message, , when check status of nginx see not running.

here /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file:

worker_processes  4; daemon off;  error_log  /home/vincent/tmp/nginx.log;  pid        /home/vincent/tmp/nginx.pid;   events {     worker_connections  1024; }   http { default_type  application/octet-stream;  log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '                   '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '                   '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';  access_log  /home/vincent/tmp/access.log  main;  sendfile        on;  keepalive_timeout  65;  include /etc/nginx/site-enabled/*; 

}

and here /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file :

server {   listen       80;   server_name technical-test.neo9.lan;     access_log  /var/log/nginx/technical-test.neo9.lan.log main;    set $home /home/vincent;    location / {     alias $home/neo9/web/app/;     index  index.html;   }    location /api/ {     rewrite  ^/api/(.*)$  /$1 break;     proxy_pass http://localhost:1234;     proxy_set_header host $host;     proxy_set_header x-real-ip $remote_addr;   } } 

first, sudo nginx -t verify config files good.

i ran same problem. reason had issue twofold. first, had accidentally copied log file site-enabled folder. deleted log file , made sure files in sites-enabled proper nginx site configs. noticed 2 of virtual hosts listening same domain. made sure each of virtual hosts had unique domain names.

sudo service nginx restart

then worked.
