How can I check if nginx is running?

It looks like you already have a service listening on TCP port 80, so nginx is not able to listen on that port.

You probably have Apache already installed. <br> <br>Try this <br> <br>$ service httpd sttop <br>$ service nginx start <br> <br>If that works, remove apache <br> <br>$ yum remove httpd* <br> <br>That’ll fix it.
