nginx start unknown log format "bytes"

sudo service nginx start
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown log format "bytes" in /home/admin/conf/web/nginx.conf:11
[FAILED]

On that file:
(...)

access_log /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.bytes bytes;

}
}

Clueless... I'll try to update vesta with the script.

after some talk with the guys at freenode #nginx channel, I got into this documentation about 'log formats':
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ ... ml#example

Code: Select all

log_format compression '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
                       '"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
                       '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" "$gzip_ratio"';

access_log /spool/logs/nginx-access.log compression buffer=32k;

Basically we're making an alias 'compression' that can then be issued as a directive like that:

Code: Select all

access_log /spool/logs/nginx-access.log compression buffer=32k;

Knowing that, I've edited '/etc/nginx/nginx.conf' and between line 'log_format main (...)' inside http {
and before 'access_log'; basically defining a new alias for a log_format, I inserted the following:

Code: Select all

log_format  bytes   '$body_bytes_sent';

as the code pattern from viewtopic.php?t=4816 seams to indicate.

Hope this helps anyone that doesn't have an understanding of nginx and get's stuck on this error.

Thanks for the information.

Basically, this means an update has packed the nginx.conf into nginx.conf.rpmsave (in my case) and written a new nginx.conf

Other problems might appear as well (in my case, I can't figure out how to make SSL's work heh)

In my case they are pointing to the latest domain I have created on the pannel. Example: every domain are pointing to last_domain.com. If I suspend last_domain.com they will all point to last_last_domain.com...

I dont know what to do!!!

Does anyone figured this out. I am having the same issue. It is pointing to one site.
