I'm trying to install nginx 1.8 on Centos 7. I tried the following steps:




  1. Install nginx repo from http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html



    wget http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.rpm
    rpm -ivh nginx-release-centos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.rpm



  2. Install Nginx



    yum install nginx



  3. Start Nginx:



    sudo systemctl start nginx


But nothing happens; nginx doesn't start. The exact same steps work on Centos 6 without a problem.



Here is the output of systemctl status nginx:
