   Hi,

   I'm trying to install/setup nginx in SliTaz 4.0. After installing it with tazpkg, it won't start complaining the following:

   [emerg]: getpwnam("80") failed

   why is this happening? I stopped BusyBox httpd prior to starting nginx with

   /etc/init.d/httpd stop

   and verify with midori that no web server is running (browsing to localhost yield an error).

   Thanks

   Key Master

   Nginx can't find user www:x:80 in nginx.conf
   # leafpad /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
   Change
   #user nobody;
   to
   user www;
   File/Save/File/Quit leafpad

   Make this directory:
   # mkdir -p /var/spool/nginx

   # /etc/init.d/nginx start

   Go to http://localhost in browser to verify nginx is up
