Solution

There are errors in configuration files of one or more domains, and now after the reboot, nginx refuses to start.

Run this command to dispaly the exact error, file and even line number that causes problem:

nginx -t

You need to edit the specified lines in files, example with nano editor:

nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/DOMAIN_NAME.conf

then again validate nginx configuration and restart it:

nginx -t && service nginx restart
