Nginx won’t start after server ip change

centos6.5nginx

I have a centos server with nginx running on it.
The server ip recently changed and nginx no longer starts up

it gives the following error message where 123.123.123.123. is the old ip address of the server

Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] bind() to 123.123.123.123:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)

Where is it reading the old IP address from?

Yes, paths to check seems to be:

/etc/nginx/conf.d/

/etc/nginx/sites-available/

Maybe the Nginx configuration files are also in different directory. I had these in /home/admin/conf/web (VestaCP control panel?)

Then do "service nginx restart" command.

Nginx – 2 versions of nginx installed

maybe you installed two versions of nginx:

# whereis nginx
nginx: /usr/sbin/nginx /etc/nginx /usr/local/sbin/nginx /usr/share/man/man1/nginx.1.gz
# nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/0.8.54
# /usr/sbin/nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/0.7.67

pathname expansion nginx to "/usr/local/sbin/nginx", because PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games(/usr/local/sbin before /usr/sbin).

Also try use find:

# find / -name nginx -executable -type f
/usr/sbin/nginx
/usr/local/sbin/nginx
/etc/init.d/nginx

Run apt-get remove --purge nginx nginx-full nginx-common first, and then apt-get install nginx and see if it works.
