nginx: [emerg] "worker_processes" directive is not allowed here in /opt/tools/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1

i cant figure out why I am getting this error. after looking at forums and many nginx examples my configs look good to me. I should mention I have a custom nginx install. I have check all the nginx log files but surprisingly they are empty.

I get this error:

nginx: [emerg] "worker_processes" directive is not allowed here in /opt/tools/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1

When running this command:

/opt/tools/nginx/nginx -p /opt/tools/nginx

here is my structure of /opt/tools/nginx

.
├── client_body_temp
├── conf
│   ├── fastcgi.conf
│   ├── fastcgi_params
│   ├── koi-utf
│   ├── koi-win

and here is my config file /opt/tools/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:

worker_processes 2;

daemon off;

error_log /opt/tools/log/nginx/error.log;

pid /opt/tools/nginx/nginx.pid;

    worker_connections  256;

                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    gzip_disable "msie6";

        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;

        # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
        #
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root html;
        }

    }
    include /opt/tools/nginx/conf/*conf;
}

Your last command in your nginx.config is include /opt/tools/nginx/conf/*conf; which is attempting to load the /opt/tools/nginx/conf/nginx.conf for a second time but the second time it is included in the http block. Since worker_processes can not be in the http block it throws an error.

I would move your nginx.conf up one level to avoid this issue. Would require some other changes as well.
