1178	Inconsistent PID file paths cause systemctl timeout	MrMYHuang@…	thresh	"My nginx is installed from nginx official yum repo. However, when I started nginx by the command:

{{{
systemctl start nginx
}}}

, it failed with timeout. See the error message:

{{{
systemctl status nginx
Jan 15 11:05:07 dsrl2.dsrl systemd[1]: PID file /run/nginx.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
Jan 15 11:07:06 dsrl2.dsrl systemd[1]: nginx.service start operation timed out. Terminating.
Jan 15 11:07:06 dsrl2.dsrl systemd[1]: Failed to start nginx - high performance web server.
Jan 15 11:07:06 dsrl2.dsrl systemd[1]: Unit nginx.service entered failed state.
Jan 15 11:07:06 dsrl2.dsrl systemd[1]: nginx.service failed.
}}}

I find the PID file path in /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service is different form /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. After I modify the path in nginx.conf, systemctl successfully starts nginx. Please fix this inconsistent PID file paths problem.
