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

does anybody have write permissions to the containing directly? or does nobody have it?
