All of a sudden I am getting the below nginx error
* Restarting nginx

...done.

If I run
lsof -i :80 or sudo fuser -k 80/tcp
I get nothing. Nothing on port 80
Then I run the below:

I am stumped. How do I debug this?
I am using uwsgi with a proxy pass on port 8070. uwsgi is running. Nginx is not. I am using ubuntu 12.4
Below are the relevant portions of my nginx conf file
upstream uwsgi_frontend {
server 127.0.0.1:8070;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name 127.0.0.1;
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_buffering off;
uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8070;
}
}
Here is how I install nginx on ubuntu 12.04
nginx=stable;add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx;
apt-get update
apt get install nginx-full
My issue was that I had overlapping listen directives. I have managed to figure out overlapping directives by running
grep -r listen /etc/nginx/*
Two files were listening at the same port:
/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf: listen 80;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default.conf: listen 80;
I had the same problem in letsencrypt (certbot) and nginx,
ref: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/5486
this error does not have a solution yet
so, a changed a cron for renew (putting a reload after renew) (using suggest from certbot)
-- in /etc/cron.d/certbot
from
0 */12 * * * root test -x /usr/bin/certbot -a \! -d /run/systemd/system && perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))' && certbot -q renew
to

To follow on to @lfender6445 and @SAURABH answers --
My problem was also the fact that after upgrading to Vagrant 2.2.2 Apache2 was running as a web server when the guest booted. In the past I only had nginx as a web server.
vagrant ssh into the box and run the following command to disable Apache2 from starting up whenever the guest box boots:
sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
Exit ssh, vagrant halt, vagrant up. Problem solved.
I use supervisor to run Nginx and Gunicorn side by side on a Docker container.
This was the configuration used for supervisor :
[supervisord]
nodaemon=true
[program:gunicorn]
command = /project/start.sh
user = www-data
[program:nginx]
command=/usr/sbin/nginx
The problem was how I launched Ngnix : by default it runs on the foreground. This makes supervise retry to run another instance of Nginx.
By adding -g 'daemon off;' to the command line, Nginx stayed in the foreground, supervisor stopped trying to run another instance.
I was also getting the same error.
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
and when i typed the localhost in the browser, then i was getting
It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet. instead of nginx welcome page, apache2 is running on the same port,
find the apache2 ports.conf file
sudo /etc/apache2/ports.conf
change the port other then 80 , i make it as 70
save the file
restart your system
it will works for you also, if you type the localhost in the browser, you will get nginx welcome page
If problem persists after trying any of the above solutions, Restart your server once. It worked for me :)
My case is different, I had to kill running Nginx to restart it.
Instead of
sudo systemctl restart nginx
I had to use:
sudo pkill -f nginx & wait $!
sudo systemctl start nginx
In my case, one of the services either Apache, Apache2 or Nginx was already running and due to that I was not able to start the other service.
I know this is old, but also make sure that none of your docker containers are already on port 80. That was my issue.
In my case the culprit turned out to be a server-block that contained:
listen 127.0.0.1:80;
listen [::1]:80 ipv6only=on;
server_name localhost;
On Linux, a socket listening on a specific IP (e.g. [::1]:80) conflicts with a socket listening on the same port but any IP (i.e. [::]:80). Normally nginx will transparently deal with this problem by using a single socket behind this scenes. However, explicitly specifying ipv6only (or certain other options) on the listen directive forces nginx to (try to) create a separate socket for it, thus resulting in the Address already in use error.
Since ipv6only=on is the default anyway (since 1.3.4) the fix was simply to remove that option from this directive, and making sure ipv6only wasn't used anywhere else in my config.
I met similar problem. the log is like below

The last [emerg] shows that duplicate listen options for [::]:80 which means that there are more than one nginx block file containing [::]:80.
My solution is to remove one of the [::]:80 setting
P.S. you probably have default block file. My advice is to keep this file as default server for port 80. and remove [::]:80 from other block files
I had several *.save files (emergency dumps from nano) from different NGINX config files in my sites-avilable dir. Once I deleted these .save files, NGINX restarted fine. I assumed these were harmless since there were no corresponding symlinks, but I guess I was wrong.
First change apache listen port 80 to 8080 apache in /etc/apache2/ports.conf include
Listen 1.2.3.4:80 to 1.2.3.4:8080
sudo service apache2 restart
or
sudo service httpd restart // in case of centos
then add nginx as reverse proxy server that will listen apache port
server {
listen 1.2.3.4:80;
server_name some.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/something-access.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|js|jpeg|png)$ {
root /usr/share/nginx/html/;
}
location /404.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html/40x.html;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /40x.html {
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
# put code for static content like js/css/images/fonts
}
After changes restart nginx server
sudo service nginx restart
Now all traffic will be handled by nginx server and send all dynamic request to apache and static conten is served by nginx server.
For advance configuration like cache :
I had this error on AWS Lightsail, used the top answer above
from
listen [::]:80;
to
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on default_server;
and then click on "reboot" button inside my AWS account, I have main server Apache and Nginx as proxy.
I found the issue that I never had before.
I just had to delete /etc/nginx/sites-available/default. Then it worked.
This deletion will delete the symlink only, As backup you can find default file in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
My conf was in /etc/nginx/default.
try to do this command
sudo fuser -k 443/tcp
service nginx restart
I have the same issue, but I see that port 80 listened by Nginx:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9730/nginx
But when I try to restart it, I have the error:
service nginx restart

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:443 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()
My issue was in the config file, I am set PID file, and seems system cant catch it properly:
user nginx;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
When I removed it, it worked.
i fixed this by running sudo apachectl stop - turns out apache was running in the background and prevented nginx from starting on the desired port.
On ubuntu run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
