Homebrew & nginx

[daBee]

Hi folks. This one is a superuser question. I have a homebrew setup where I'm keeping nginx alive on my workstation. I've run into some permissions issues with logs and keeping nginx alive. Setting to 777 for the logs, I can get it up and running, but homebrew won't achieve anything. Yes I know the ramifications of 777. I'm in my home office alone, all that. The console gives me some feedback on stopping and restarting nginx using brew services:

$ brew services stop nginx
[Fault] Transform 'MT_com.apple.BSDServices.ScriptingLanguageUse_v2' hit unrecoverable error with reason='<private>' and context='<private>' with event='<private>'

$ brew services start nginx

[Fault] Transform 'MT_com.apple.BSDServices.ScriptingLanguageUse_v2' hit unrecoverable error with reason='<private>' and context='<private>' with event='<private>'

Does anybody recognize these issues? I have updated homebrew, reinstalled nginx twice, rebooted the box twice, and it still won't take. Not sure what to do at this point.

Any insight appreciated. Cheers

Docroot is: /usr/local/var/www

The default port has been set in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf to 8080 so that
nginx can run without sudo.

nginx will load all files in /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/.

To have launchd start nginx now and restart at login:
  brew services start nginx
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  nginx

 $ brew services start nginx

$ brew services stop nginx
Stopping `nginx`... (might take a while)
==> Successfully stopped `nginx` (label: homebrew.mxcl.nginx)

Just went through the process and didn't have any issues. Ensure that your Brew version matches what I have. I didn't configure Nginx, so you might want to confirm a vanilla installation/configuration works before changing anything.

I literally sat down at the computer and tried it and it works. Didn't do a thing since yesterday.

OK, thank you. Onto the next question. Will post.

Cheers
