Here is an excerpt of my conf file:

--- set $ngx_path /usr/local/nginx/logs; set $app_path /home/application; ... root $app_path/myblog; access_log $ngx_path/access.myblog.log;

---

And here is the error message I get when I start nginx:

------ 2008/09/10 17:01:11 [emerg] 588#0: open() "/usr/local/nginx/$ngx_path/access.myblog.log" failed (2: No such file or directory)

------

Setting a path variable doesn't work with the log files.

access_log supports variables since 0.7.6+ only.

BTW, it's not good idea to set some variable to static values on server level and then use them. You may simply define common "root" and "access_log" on server level.
