Thanx for the replies. You gave me an idea.

I understand /etc/mime.types is a Deb file, not an nginx file.

I changed my config.sh to use 
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf rather than as above,
/and/ copied /etc/mime.types to /etc/nginx/
assuming there was a bug in nginx when the config was /etc/nginx.conf,
in that the line # of the error is the (correct) last line
of /etc/mime.types, so I guess the code is not handling properly the
case where nginx.conf and mime.types are in /etc/, somehow.

And yes, after cleaning up my old proxy pass stuff, that fixed it.

Many thanx.
