Description
I recently upgraded a server from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS and noticed that nginx was not starting automatically. Attempts to start it manually produce the following:
$ sudo service nginx start $ sudo service nginx restart * Restarting nginx nginx [fail] $
I can start the server successfully from the command line with "sudo nginx". Testing the configuration produces no error:
$ sudo nginx -t nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful $
I modified /etc/init.d/nginx to produce more information and found the following:
nginx: invalid option: "~*(crawl|Google|Slurp|bingbot|tracker|click|parser|spider|msnbot|Gigabot)"
This is the offending directive in my nginx.conf file:
map $http_user_agent $is_bot {
default 0;
~*(crawl|Google|Slurp|bingbot|tracker|click|parser|spider|msnbot|Gigabot) 1;
}
It turns out that the string "pid" in "spider" is causing the start failure. If I change the regex to "s.ider" or "s\160ider" I can start the server successfully.

Thanks! Yup, the 14.04 version of /etc/init.d/nginx does this:
PID=$(awk -F'[ \t;]+' '/[^#]pid/ {print $2}' /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This doesn't looks like a problem in nginx. Rather, it's an incorrect assumption in init.d script you use - looks like it tries to grep nginx.conf for the "pid" directive, and fails to do it properly. Ask your package maintainer for a refund.
