Hi there. Thanks for the reply. Persistent permissions issues are on other boxes, on OSX as well. But I had some Passenger issues so I’ve moved into another issue.
But sudo nginx -t gets rid of the error on nginx.pid That whole user/group issue on the user directive in nginx.conf is confusing as it ignores any attempt at using user root;. So it has no user.
