nginx doesn't print any "detailed messages" on reload.  Actually, 
reload is just sending HUP signal to nginx master process, so 
nginx just has no chances to say anything as it's not connected to 
teminal.  Anything it has to say (if something goes wrong) will be 
written to error_log.

Probably your previous init script either used configtest (nginx 
-t) before actual reload.  Feel free to modify your new init 
script to do the same.
