Log file permissions

[Henrik Vendelbo]

Hmm, seems I have gotten a bit further. If I create the log files
myself and make them group writable with root:nobody, it doesn't write
an error. It still terminates the nginx process though, I wonder if
that is launchd getting confused by the master forking mechanism.
