We have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on our server and almost everything is done. When we try to start nginx, we get this error: Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status nginx.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
Could you please help us to solve this issue. We have been searching for hours with no luck.
It looks like Passenger isn’t bundled into your Nginx configuration
We are running run Ruby on rails.
Thanks

You’ll need to install a version of Nginx that includes passenger. This can mean compiling Nginx yourself or using a binary package that includes passenger support.
The following guide should provide you with a simplified way of installing Ruby, Passenger and NGINX with minimal hassle.
I had same problem after upgrading Ubuntu to 16… solution was to fix paths in file:
sudo vi /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service
to: “/opt/nginx/sbin/nginx”
and after “systemctl daemon-reload” everthing worked
