I deleted the /var/log/nginx/error.log file, and then created a new one using:

sudo nano error.log

Doinga ls -la shows that the error.log and access.log have the same permissions.

When I try and start nginx I get the error:

alert: could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed permission denited.
