Nginx broken after upgrade to osx yosemite

Question

Nginx was working fine on Mavericks, and now after I upgraded to Yosemite its displaying nginx command not found , I tried to install nginx with brew install nginx and it displays an error

Error: You must brew link pcre before nginx can be installed

And brew link pcre displays

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.35... Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/Cellar/pcre/8.34/share/doc/pcre

Its trying to link 8.34. I reinstalled still its same, How do i solve it?

I had the same problem, that is, after upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite I got the following error: nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/usr/local/var/run/nginx/client_body_temp" failed (2: No such file or directory)

All I needed to do to solve this issue was to create the folder:

mkdir -p /usr/local/var/run/nginx/client_body_temp

Yes creating a folder worked, but there must be some solution, to make it working. – Arun Oct 21 '14 at 03:01
great! mkdir -p /usr/local/var/run/nginx/client_body_temp – Isis Oct 22 '14 at 21:01
Perfect - so glad it was an easy resolution. – rob_was_taken Oct 28 '14 at 14:54
used with sudo, and gets satisfaction :) – Artem Fitiskin Nov 16 '14 at 18:49
I would suggest preferring the solution of `brew update ; brew upgrade nginx` – unomi Feb 12 '15 at 00:26
It is likely that only the `nginx` directory was missing, as nginx will create `client_body_temp` for you. So you just have to do `mkdir /usr/local/var/run/nginx` – jonr Apr 18 '18 at 23:34

I ran into the same issue. My solution was simply upgrading the package: brew update ; brew upgrade nginx

Much prefer the upgrade path over file system fixes. – chrisst Nov 19 '14 at 17:29

This solution failed for me. I still had the exact same error after the brew upgrade. However, the mkdir solution did work. – Swarf Dec 09 '14 at 00:38

Had the same issue, re-installing nginx via homebrew fix it for me:

brew reinstall nginx
