<![CDATA[On 2.3.3 16-10-07 Web configurator is down]]>Nginix does not seem to start after updating or reboot.
If I try to restart the webconfigurator from the shell I get this in lastlog:

The command '/usr/local/sbin/nginx -c /var/etc/nginx-webConfigurator.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was 'nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (2: No such file or directory) 2016/10/07 09:45:25 [emerg] 39921#100271: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (2: No such file or directory)'

In /var/log the directory nginx does not exist. creating it  and  restarting nginx with

/usr/local/sbin/nginx -c /var/etc/nginx-webConfigurator.conf

solves the problem temporarily, however the directory /var/log/nginx gets deleted at reboot and not recreated on restart, so the fix does not survive reboot

https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/f56f6565e3b3e75a8a2d84928ecb12daf1ec1f78

change is in /etc/rc

You can make the change by hand or using the system patches package to see if it helps.

The guilty commit is:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/01607f1a5bb041c66a869dd6ae75c54d178bf8ba

I'd personally revert it, bump revision and issue new snapshots.
Gosh… FreeBSD-ports are giving way too much trouble this days...

Edit: OK. Post below is a much easier solution. Thanks @jimp.
