Can't start Nginx - Job for nginx.service failed
Hello,
This is my fist droplet and I've followed all the steps for the initial server setup with Ubuntu, how to setup a firewall with ufw, I've installed Nginx and it worked. Then I've installed MariaDb and started it, everything was ok, and after I've installed PHP I've followed "Step Four — Configure Nginx to Use our PHP Processor" from here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04
(although I have Ubuntu 15.04 x64 on my droplet)
Did "sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default" and put the same setup it is in their example, but after "sudo service nginx restart" couldn't restart the Nginx, I'm getting:
myusername@droplet1:~$ sudo service nginx restart
Job for nginx.service failed. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
myusername@droplet1:~$ systemctl status nginx.service

Anyone have an idea about what happens?
Thanks!
It seems I missed a ";" in etc/nginx/sites-available/default, now it works.
Thank you, that helped me a lot.
i did the same thing..
i left off the ';' on the end of:
listen 80;
I took my whole sever down by uncommenting an extra line.
You can only have one of the "fastcgi_pass" not both of them.
@willr I don't know how to thank you:) you saved me a whole lot of time!
