Can't seem to fix nginx dependency issue

Hi.

I’ve seem to have messed up my ee installation. Now, I can’t get ee to do anything (create sites, install stack, etc). From the error below, it seems I have a dependency issue with nginx’s packages. I’ve tried purging nginx and reinstalling but I can’t seem to solve the issue.

I have Phusion Passenger installed on top of ee’s stack. Not sure if that can cause issue with the packages.

nginx as the web server is working fine as it is now. All the sites I’ve created prior to the current issue are working fine. The only issue is when I do anything with ee.

Any ideas?

@weyhan

can you give me list of nginx packages which you have currently installed?

Please give me output of following command

dpkg -l | grep nginx

Here is the output you’ve requested:

$ dpkg -l | grep nginx

Hi, have you tried running this: sudo tail /var/log/ee/ee.log

This should show where the conflict is. In my case it is an unmet dependency of phpapi-20121212.

Is you output the same?

:slight_smile:

The log snippet is in my original post. The issue for me is nginx-common. Nothing to do with phpaip.
