Cannot even start nginx on windows

Hi all,

I cannot start nginx on Windows.

I successfully installed nginx at home on a debian wheezy (the "raspbian", in fact, on Raspberry Pi)... but I just followed a tutorial and I am still a newbie!

I am trying to reproduce this at work, on my professional PC (Windows 7): I am prospecting this way for my project too :-)

I downloaded nginx 1.5.12 from the download page, unzipped it as c:\nginx\nginx.exe (with its work folders aside, as in the zip).

Without configuring anything, I double cliqued on nginx.exe and got nothing (except one very short blink of the application console, I guess).

I then opened a DOS window to launch the server, and got the following errors:

D:\Users\phil>c:\nginx\nginx.exe
nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: CreateFile() "logs/error.log" failed (3: FormatMessage() error:(15100))
2014/04/03 11:30:01 [emerg] 2356#6140: CreateFile() "D:\Users\phil/conf/nginx.conf" failed (3: FormatMessage() error:(15105))
D:\Users\phil>

(see joined bmp file)
Note that the first error is also visible in the Windows EventLog

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance,
Philippe.
