Error setting up http authentication - 500 Internal Server Error

[Hari]

error is not being written to the error.log file.....

the permission for the error log file is set as below

demo at Himalaya:/etc/nginx/sites-available$ ls -al /var/log/nginx/error.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 416 Feb 25 15:55 /var/log/nginx/error.log

Here are the two process one is running as root and the second one as www-data.
demo at Himalaya:/etc/nginx/sites-available$ ps aux | grep nginx
root     10159  0.0  0.3  27436   808 ?        Ss   19:04   0:00
nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx
www-data 10160  0.0  0.5  27884  1564 ?        S    19:04   0:00
nginx: worker process


the root as write permision so i am not sure why erorrs are not being logged!!
