For what it's worth, I had this problem and found that because the default Ubuntu installation apparently includes Apache2 httpd server, which was active on port 80, the nginx core installer failed when it tried to start the nginx service. This port conflict and subsequent failure of the nginx service caused the error in the installer.
I disabled the apache server and nginx installation then completed without errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nginx in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1447294 Title: package nginx-full 1.6.2-5ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1447294/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
