I'm trying to get nginx to log access and error logs. My logs currently have very old content, a mix of logs and gzipped logs.
$ ls -la access*.log*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Jan 8 2016 access.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 2261400 Jan 7 2016 access.log.1
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 311947 Dec 30 2015 access.log.10.gz
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 434744 Dec 29 2015 access.log.11.gz
My configuration is:
user www-data www-data;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
...
http {
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined;
...
Strangely, despite the user declaration the worker processes still run as nobody:
# ps -eo "%U %G %a" | grep nginx
root root nginx: master process /usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
nobody nogroup nginx: worker process
nobody nogroup nginx: worker process
I tried setting the owner of the existing access.log and error.log files to be nobody:nogroup but still it doesn't log anything.
There's nothing (relevant) in syslog.
I have tried a mixture (!) or reloading and restarting nginx after changing the configuration file. Still nothing...
How is my configuration incorrect?

In the first command block, are you actually in the directory named/var/log/nginx/? Also, it's possible thaterror_log&access_logare configured a second time in another file, and the first configuration is ignored.

You might want to refer to these topics for configuring nginx user:
How do I change the NGINX user?
why do nginx process run with user nobody
About nginx empty logs I suggest you to empty logs directory or temporary disable Selinux to see if it's causing the trouble setenrofce 0
You can also check if you have the right syntax and error_log directive is in the correct place.

Yes, I had reviewed those questions already. As above, I have set the user but it doesn't appear to take effect. I considered a separate "why does the user directive work for me" question but what I actually want to know right now is why the logs don't populate - even withchmod 777they still don't work, so I don't think it's permissions. SELinux is not enabled on this system.nginx -treports the configuration is ok.
