Issues starting up nginx with conf files

I had setup my nginx server fine last week until I noticed I was receiving DOSS attacks against it. I then noticed at this point my Nginx server was failing to start. I have tried everything else and unsure what to do to resolve the issue apart from reading documentation which does not help.

Documentation on Nginx

main nginx.conf appears to be empty and I cannot save to it for some reason.

Removed Nginx from ubuntu and done a clean installation onto server. Managed to sort the server blocks out this time so all good.
