Answer 3

This could simply mean that nginx is already stopped - not running at the moment.
First, confirm whether nginx is running, execute:

$ ps aux | grep nginx

Answer 4

I do it like this:

First kill the progress

ps aux | grep nginx
kill -9 {pid}

Then start nginx

nginx

It works!

Answer 5

Try running sudo nginx before starting nginx.

Answer 6

Try this:

sudo nginx -s stop

followed by a:

sudo nginx

It seems that nginx keeps track of its state, to if you stop it twice, it will complain. But the above worked for me.
