I am quite stuck trying to set up access/error logging for nginx.

nobody 17992 0.0 0.1 76872 1144 ?? S 12:20am 0:00.00 nginx: worker process nobody 17991 0.0 0.1 76872 1140 ?? S 12:20am 0:00.00 nginx: worker process root 17990 0.0 0.0 76072 232 ?? Ss 12:20am 0:00.00 nginx: master process /opt/local/sbin/nginx

$ ls -al /var/log/testin2.local/ total 0 drwxrwxr-x 3 root nobody 102 30 May 00:17 . drwxr-xr-x 85 root wheel 2890 30 May 00:00 .. -rwxrwx--- 1 root nobody 5496 30 May 00:21 www.access.log

I run nginx as nobody:nobody, and group nobody should have write access to the log file, even so it fails with this message:

30/05/2008 11:27:15 org.macports.nginx[20671] 2008/05/30 11:27:14 [emerg] 20672#0: open() "/var/log/testin2.local/www.access.log" failed (13: Permission denied) 30/05/2008 11:27:45 com.apple.launchd[112] (org.macports.nginx[20671]) Exited with exit code: 2

Is it expecting the user to have the write permissions?
