Hello! Are you using ea-nginx or a third-party installation of nginx? What version did you upgrade from and to? It looks like your nginx installation is using "pipelog_format" directives that are no longer supported on the current version of enginx. Were you perhaps using engintron before? Regardless, I would suggest bringing this up with your systems administrator or web hosting provider since this wouldn't be related to cPanel itself.

I'm also experiencing this issue. I was previously using engintron before upgrading to Almalinux8. I've commented out loading the pipelog module and removed the directives from the global logging conf. However everytime I restart Nginx/Apache it all gets put back into the config and then Nginx fails to start.
Any ideas? Thanks!

@ShaneOss - in your case, it sounds like Engintron may not have been fully removed. Can you see if there are any pieces of that left on your machine?
