You shouldn't be creating the pid file yourself. As you said, it will contain
the process identifier and is used by the service tool to
start/stop/restart/status/... the nginx process.
Try removing the line 'user: www www;' which should cause nginx to run root
(provided you're starting it with sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx)
Set the pid line to:
pid /usr/local/nginx/nginx.pid
It doesn't really matter where it is stored, as long as it's in a directory
that exists.

Simon
