I fix it by removing nginx.pid in /usr/local/var/run and then using brew services start nginx

If you have installed your nginx using homebrew use the answer provided by stackoverflow.com/a/74949204/948241

I was using nginx installed by homebrew,

I deleted /opt/homebrew/var/run/nginx.pid (the location may vary depending on the version you are using)

sudo rm /opt/homebrew/var/run/nginx.pid

Then restarted the service

 brew services restart nginx

You may start it if it is not already running

brew services start nginx

I fixed this problem by run sudo nginx, After that you can run sudo nginx -s reload normaly.

For linux users: 1- verify the location of nginx.pid from /etc/nginx/nginx.conf when you got the pid location delete it.

2- permission issue; try to chown user:user /run/nginx.pid then restart nginx.

Use this command to remove existing nginx cond.swp file

rm /etc/nginx/.nginx.conf.swp

Then reload nginx

nginx -t


sudo systemctl reload nginx
