Description:
The Bitnami NGINX stack on AWS Lightsail was running fine until i followed instructions to install SSL by referring to:

https://docs.bitnami.com/virtual-machine/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/#alternative-approach

Using "Approach A (Bitnami installations using system packages)" as output by running the command:
test ! -f "/opt/bitnami/common/bin/openssl" && echo "Approach A: Using system packages." || echo "Approach B: Self-contained installation."

After completing the steps, i was not able to start nginx with error then proceed to reboot the server; but when i try to execute:
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start

i hit this error
"Cannot find any running daemon to contact. If it is running, make sure you are pointing to the right pid file (/var/run/gonit.pid)"

I ran the Bitnami Support Tool which generated this ticket c4b02662-9f7c-2ac5-5aa6-c3deecb8f247

Appreciate any assistance, and thank you in advance.

executed:
sudo /opt/bitnami/nginx/sbin/nginx -t

with the following response:
nginx: [emerg] "client_max_body_size" directive is duplicate in /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:38
nginx: configuration file /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test failed

thus commented that line in nginx.conf then reboot and its working fine now.

Except i have another issue where nginx is not starting up but will create another thread for it.
