nginx : access.log and error.log file empty

Question

I have just installed nginx on Ubuntu 14.04 using the command

sudo apt-get install nginx

Now, when I open my browser and type in the address

Answer 1

It looks like by default they are set to go to stdout and stderr.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   11 Apr 27  2016 access.log -> /dev/stdout
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   11 Apr 27  2016 error.log -> /dev/stderr

So you can remove the symlinks and should be fine.

rm -f /var/log/nginx/*
