debug logs not getting generated

[Kunal Pariani]

3) Make sure you've restarted nginx (or upgraded running binary).

4) Make sure the config you are editing is right one (and again,
you've reloaded a configuration after editing it; note that you
have to check logs after a configuration reload to make sure it
was successful).

I noticed that the config file (conf/nginx/nginx.conf.main) i am changing
loses the changes after restarting nginx. Not sure why this should happen
as config files need to be persistent across reloads.
