Nginx: Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited

Question

I got a problem which I have been trying to fix for a few days now and I don\'t know what to do, have been looking for answers but all of those I found didn\'t help me.

Answer 1

This worked for me:

First, go to

cd /etc/nginx

and make the changes in nginx.conf and make the default port to listen from 80 to any of your choice 85 or something.

Then use this command to bind that port type for nginx to use it:

semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p tcp 85

where PORT_TYPE is one of the following: http_cache_port_t, http_port_t, jboss_management_port_t, jboss_messaging_port_t, ntop_port_t, puppet_port_t.

Then run:

sudo systemctl start nginx; #sudo systemctl status nginx

[you should see active status]; #sudo systemctl enable nginx
