Nginx - Building from source - not working

I was using this code to install Nginx

aptitude -y install nginx
aptitude -y full-upgrade

This was working fine. However, I want to install my apps from source to give me more control. I then used this code:

cd /opt/
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.2.3.tar.gz
tar xvfz nginx-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.2.3
./configure
make
make install

However, it seems to have extracted and installed fine on the server, but I cant see anything on my site. The command used to restart my Nginx also no longer works:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

Is anyone able to give me a bit more information on what might be going wrong?

You need to check, where the server was installed. Probably it was installed to the /usr/local/bin directory. And the binary, that it specified in /etc/init.d/nginx is in /usr/bin.

Also, you can add set -x as the second line in the /etc/init.d/nginx to see what happens when you start it.
