Nginx isn't restarting :

systemctl status nginx.service spits out :

First it was duplication location / (but there wasn't duplicate). There is no duplicate access log files in the config file too. I generated a custom self-signed ssl vhost config file using the centminmod generator and pasted + restarted nginx, but I get the above error now.

 

Will do that in a bit. I'm rolling back to nginx v1.13.3 to see if that changes anything.

 

Alright, this didn't do anything helpful.

Code (Text):

It's weird because the non ssl confiig file was 60m :

Code (Text):

access_log /home/nginx/domains/ablackweb.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=60m;

But I edited it and changed it to 5m so they match.

Now I get :

Pasted the comments of the first command too but you can see it after "[00:54][root@hostname.domain.com ~]# grep -rn 'location \/ {' /usr/local/nginx/conf/".

You have to scroll down to see it in the code bb code - /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/domain.com.conf
