Description
Since the update from 1.11.3 to 1.11.4_1, Nginx does not respect custom locations of error logs (but does respect the access_log location).
Regardless of the presence of error_log statement in nginx.conf, the error log is always created in /var/log/nginx/error.log. If the /var/log/nginx folder is removed, an attempt to start nginx (service nginx start) or even test configuration (nginx -t) produces this error message, followed by start-up output normally sent to the error log:
nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (2: No such file or directory)
Downgrading to 1.11.3 restores normal behaviour

The compiled-in error log is used during configuration parsing (before the error_log from nginx.conf is known), so there is no surprise it is always created, see #147.
As for the /var/log/nginx folder, it is created due to this change in the FreeBSD port. Previously, logging in the port defaulted to /var/log/nginx-access.log and /var/log/nginx-error.log.
What you wrote about the access.log file looks strange though. As far as I can see, the port doesn't create these files (it only creates the /var/log/nginx directory). On the other hand, the fact that access.log isn't re-created on restart suggests it's not an nginx problem either, as nginx doesn't know if it was started for the first time or not.
Closing this as duplicate of #147.
