starting /stopping nginx

[Payam Chychi]

wow i feel like a dumb dumb... re-reading what i had wrote out in the
config ... i noticed i had typed in /var/log(s)/nginx... where its
/var/log/nginx..

sorry for the dumb problem guys... i thought i was going crazy and yet
it was such a stupid mistake

on a side note, anyone have a sample config of allowing proxy_pass to
attach $realip of the client to the backend origin server? My origin
sees all connections being made by my nginx proxy even though i have
x-forward set in my proxy.conf

proxy_redirect          off;
proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size    10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout   90;
proxy_send_timeout      90;
proxy_read_timeout      90;
proxy_buffers           32 4k;



Thanks everyone for their help...
Payam
