Package: nginx
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: important
A fresh installation of nginx 1.4.1-1 on Debian sid fails to start,
despite numerous "/etc/init.d/nginx start" attempts,
with no error message on the console.
Confused, I eventually found these lines in /var/log/nginx/error.log:
2013/05/10 16:58:11 [emerg] 24439#0: invalid parameter "ipv6_only=on" in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:22
2013/05/10 17:01:01 [emerg] 26257#0: invalid parameter "ipv6_only=on" in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:22
2013/05/10 17:09:43 [emerg] 31262#0: invalid parameter "ipv6_only=on" in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:22
I then did a Google search, and came across these bugs reports on Launchpad.
It turns out that "ipv6_only=on" contains an erroneous underscore:
nginx-light: invalid parameter "ipv6_only=on"

Nginx - typo in default config file (13.04)

Affected version: 1.2.6-1ubuntu1, fixed in 1.2.6-1ubuntu2

* Modify default site configuration file to correct a typo
that prevented out-of-the-box usability (LP: #1162177)

I then changed "ipv6_only=on" to "ipv6only=on" on my Debian machine,
and voila! nginx starts up nicely.
Note that nginx 1.2.1-2.2 in Debian wheezy (7.0) has the correct
"ipv6only=on" and thus unaffected by this bug report.
It would appear that this bug currently affects the version in
Debian sid/unstable only.
Thanks for your help!
