nginx won't start

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

Re: nginx won't start

Nginx can't find user www:x:80 in nginx.conf

[c]# leafpad /etc/nginx/nginx.conf[/c]

Change

[c]#user nobody;[/c]

to

[c]user  www;[/c]

File/Save/File/Quit leafpad

Make this directory:

[c]# mkdir -p /var/spool/nginx[/c]

[c]# /etc/init.d/nginx start[/c]

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