I'm pretty new to FreeBSD and nginx. The problem I am having is that when I try to start or stop nginx from /usr/local/rc.d/nginx nothing happens.

Here's the output from "uname -a" :

FreeBSD wilco. 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

I've installed nginx via ports and it created the file /usr/local/etc/ rc.d/nginx. If I enter "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx" at the command line I get:

Usage: etc/rc.d/nginx [fast|force|one](start|stop|restart|rcvar| configtest|reload|status|poll)

But if I type "sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start" nothing happens. I don't get an error and there is nothing in /var/log/nginx-error.log. I can start nginx by entering "sudo /usr/local/sbin/nginx" and I verify this with "ps -ax | grep nginx":

 1147  ??  Ss     0:00.00 nginx: master process /usr/local/sbin/nginx
 1148  ??  S      0:00.00 nginx: worker process (nginx)

Here are the file permissions for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx (which is identical to /usr/local/sbin/nginx):

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  932 May  3 11:47 etc/rc.d/nginx

Please let me know if I need to provide any more information and thank in advance for your help.

Best.
Mike
