Comment 1 Horace 2016-02-18 04:48:47 UTC

Additionally, the current fix is to copy /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service to /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service and add ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/rm -f /var/run/nginx.sock to the service file.

Comment 2 Jamie Nguyen 2016-06-05 17:37:57 UTC

Hi Horace. Thanks for your report. /var/run/nginx.sock isn't used in the default configuration.
