Incorrect log location error

[spraguey]

I was able to resolve this, but I am not sure exactly why. To simplify my
post, I removed the code that sets a variable for the base path. That's
where the problem is.

set $homedir /webspace/mydomain.com;
root ${homedir}/www;
access_log ${homedir}/log/access.log;

The root works, but access_log did not. NGINX would prepend
/usr/share/nginx/ to it every time and result in the error from my original
post.

If I don't use the variable, it works fine.

access_log /webspace/mydomain.com/log/access.log;

It kind of defeats the purpose of having a variable, but at least it is
working now.
