Error setting up http authentication - 500 Internal Server Error

[Hari]

Hi

Here is the setup in the top level conf file

============================
user www-data;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/error.log;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;

    gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

}
============================

Here are the messages from the error.log file in /var/log/nginx/error.log

demo at Himalaya:/etc/nginx$ cat /var/log/nginx/error.log
