Failed to start The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server issue
<p>First time I'm stalling nginx server in my fedora 24. I'm using apache server for development. For onlyoffice integration I have to install nginx server. I installed nginx server by using this command <code>dnf install nginx</code> </p>

<p>Before starting nginx server I stopped apache and disabled it also like below.</p>

<pre><code>systemctl stop httpd
systemctl disable httpd
</code></pre>

<p>If I start the nginx server <code>sudo service nginx start</code> I'm getting below error.</p>

<pre><code>Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  nginx.service
Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
</code></pre>

<p>So I ran the <code>systemctl status nginx.service</code> command to know issue detail, I got below output in my terminal. </p>

<pre><code>[root@localhost ~]# systemctl -l status nginx.service
● nginx.service - The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server

<p>I tried several ways to fix by changing the <code>listen 80</code> to <code>listen 801</code> in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf but no issue. I followed the below urls also but I can't fix the issue. </p>

<p><strong>/etc/nginx/default.d/phpMyAdmin.conf</strong></p>

<pre><code># phpMyAdmin

location = /phpMyAdmin {
    alias /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/;
}

location /phpMyAdmin/ {
     root /usr/share;
     index index.php index.html;

     location ~ ^/phpMyAdmin/(.+\.php)$
     {
         try_files $uri =404;
         fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
         include        fastcgi_params;
         fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
         fastcgi_pass   php-fpm;  //this is line number 17
     }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
