I was unable to reproduce the error (1.15.7 - 1.15.8).
Why you have non regular user perm. /usr/local/etc/nginx?

$ ls -lha /usr/local/etc/nginx/

[Sandro Machado]

@denji this is the output:

Any thoughts?

[Denis Denisov]

I'll double-check it, but it looks like the error was caused after unpacking the archive and copying nginx-1.15.8.tar.gz/conf/koi-win.

Please let me know if you need my help for debugging or if you need me to run some commands.
