The error you've posted is expected to appear in your per-server 
error log, as defined in the include file you've shared with us.  
This is not the log you should look at, no global errors will be 
logged to it - you should look at the global log, as defined in 
your nginx.conf (not in an include file, but in the nginx.conf 
itself).

If you don't see any errors there - make sure to configure at 
least "notice" logging level and test if you see relevant notice 
messages during configuration reload.  If you don't - you are 
probably looking into a wrong file.
