SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE:

Solution 1

  1. Go check out your error.log file, which is located at /var/log/nginx/error.log. I had a very similar error output once, and as it turned out, I had something else running port 80 as the default. Usually apache is to blame.

    If your error.log spits something out that looks like listen() to 0.0.0.0:80, backlog 511 failed (98: Address already in use) try out sudo lsof -i :80 and see what's running port 80, if this is the case. You'll have to kill whatever is on the port if you want nginx to run properly.

    Another possibility is that you accidentally deleted your nginx.conf file or directory with the file, in which case I ran these:

    sudo apt-get --purge remove nginx-*
    sudo apt-get install nginx
    

    If these don't work out, please post the error.log results.

Solution 2
user@user:~$ sudo service apache2 stop
user@user:~$ sudo apt install nginx -y

  1. Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Many thanks.apple service berlin
