Nginx will not start [SOLVED]

I am trying to get nginx service to start. I literally installed it through pacman and did sudo systemctl start nginx and it said it exited with error code.

Here is the output of journalctl: "[spacetimebull@archy ~]$ journalctl -xeu nginx
░░
░░ The process' exit code is 'exited' and its exit status is 1.
Apr 10 13:14:31 archy systemd[1]: nginx.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Why will it not start?! I have nothing else running

Re: Nginx will not start [SOLVED]

have you modified any of the config files ? i just tried it in an up-to-date barebones VM and it works as expected out of the box,

Re: Nginx will not start [SOLVED]

systemctl status nginx

Also check "man coredumpctl"

----------

And please never use "-x", it's spam - just look at this BS:
Actual journal:

Apr 10 13:14:31 archy systemd[1]: nginx.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Apr 10 13:14:31 archy systemd[1]: Failed to start A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server.

Uselesss bullshit explanations of the above

That reads like a breakdown of the messages for someone w/ severe brain damage…

Re: Nginx will not start [SOLVED]

I had two instances of NGINX running - one from a package and one in a snap . You may close this issue.
