nginx - nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (9

Question

All of a sudden I am getting the below nginx error

 * Restarting nginx
 * Stopping nginx nginx
   ...done.
 * Starting nginx nginx
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()
   ...done.
   ...done.

If I run

lsof -i :80 or sudo fuser -k 80/tcp 

I get nothing. Nothing on port 80

Then I run the below:

sudo netstat -pan | grep ":80"

I am stumped.

How to a debug?

I am using uwsgi with a

proxy pass on port 8070. uwsgi is running. Nginx is not. I am using ubuntu 12.4

Below are the relevant portions of my nginx conf file

upstream uwsgi_frontend {
          server 127.0.0.1:8070;
        }
server {
listen 80;
        server_name 127.0.0.1;
        location = /favicon.ico {
                  log_not_found off;
                }



                location / {
                       include uwsgi_params;
                       uwsgi_buffering off;

                       uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8070;
                 }
        }

Here is how I install nginx on ubuntu 12.04

nginx=stable;add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx;
apt-get update
apt get install nginx-full

I found the issue that I never had before.

I just had to delete /etc/nginx/sites-available/default. Then it worked.

My conf was in /etc/nginx/default.
