I have just set up nginx on my server to stream video to and retrieve it
in an http web page. I have tried everything that I can think of and all
the recommendations i could find by Googling but nothing gives me http
access th the video stream that is active on the server. I keep adding
things I run into to my nginx.conf file and now it is so bloated it's
ridiculous. The thing that concerns me with this issue is that I am
using Apache2 on this same server running php7 at the standard port 80.
I moved Nginx to port 8088. I've tried running Nginx as "user apache"
thinking that might help with a possibility that php is running under
the apache ownership but that didn't help. The following is my config file:

#user  nginx;
user apache;
worker_processes  auto;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
# We need to setup an rmtp server to stream video from client devices
rtmp {
    server {
        listen 1935;
        chunk_size 4096;
        ping 30s;
        notify_method get;
        allow play all;
        # rmtp handler our clients connect to for live streaming, it
runs on port 1935.
        # It converts the stream to HLS and stores it on our server
        application pb1ag {
            live on;
            hls on;
            hls_path /var/www/nginx/pb1ag/live;
            hls_nested on;  # create a new folder for each stream
            record_notify off;
            record_path /var/www/nginx/pb1ag/videos;
            record off;
            record_unique off;
        }

        application vod {
           play /var/www/nginx/pb1ag/videos;
        }
    }
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]
"$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
    sendfile        on;
    tcp_nopush     on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    gzip  on;
    server_tokens off;
    server {
        listen 8088;
        server_name  www.pb1ag.us;
        root /var/www/nginx/pb1ag;
        index  index.m3u8;
        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.m3u8 index.html index.htm;
            autoindex on;
            autoindex_exact_size off;
        }
        # the http end point our web based users connect to see the
live stream
        location /live {
            types {
                application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
            }
            index  index.m3u8;
            alias /var/www/nginx/pb1ag/live;
            add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
#           add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
        }
    }
}

I am working against a deadline and this ius the last problem to solve
and I am getting desperate. Please help, anyone?

Thanks.
