Public bug reported:
I have the following line in the main config file
(/etc/nginx/nginx.conf):
log_format syslog 'nginx[$pid]: $host $remote_addr $remote_user
"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';
This line alone makes it impossible to start nginx. The init script
parses the pid file path from the config file, but does that in a
unreliable way:
PID=$(awk -F'[ \t;]+' '/[^#]pid/ {print $2}' /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)
For my config file, this returns two lines, the first one with the pid
file, the second line with just 'log_format':
$ awk -F'[ \t;]+' '/[^#]pid/ {print $2}' /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
/var/run/nginx.pid
log_format
$
Later on when the init script attempts to start nginx, it fails:
$ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid log_format
--exec /usr/sbin/nginx --
nginx: invalid option: "log_format"
Ubuntu 14.04, everything updated today.
