Glad to hear you got it working!

In the future, here's something that might come in useful. You can check the syntax of Nginx's configuration files by running:

nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

The error output will give you a hint at what the problem is as well as the line number.

Heres the bug. Its fixed but not showing in Digitaocean repos fix.
You can manually edit this to work.
https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues/206

If you miss the semicolon symbol ";" at the end of any statement, you may not get the error when trying to start / restart / reload nginx.

Example: Here you will get the error, as ; is missed on line no 3.

• server {
  location / {
  proxy_pass http://localhost:8080
  }

          location ~ \.(gif|jpg|png)$ {
                  autoindex on;
                  root /data/images;
          }
  }*
  

I am getting below output
nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
nginx: [emerg] PEMreadbioX509AUX("/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt") failed (SSL: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEMreadbio:no start line:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

I dont know what have I missed.

nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (13: Permission denied)
2016/09/23 03:28:01 [warn] 16707#16707: the "user" directive makes sense only if the master process runs with super-user privileges, ignored in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1

nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

This is my output after running
nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

I am also getting same kind of error after trying to restart Nginx

nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/var/lib/nginx/body" failed (2: No such file or directory)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
