Describe the bug
I installed nginx-ui on a fresh installed server running Ubuntu 24.04.
After visiting https://server.local:9000/ I will be facing the error "Error log path not exist".
In /etc/nginx/nginx.conf everything is set correctly to /var/log/nginx/error.log, file exists and contains errors.
nginx -V still shows --error-log-path=stderr.
I tried changing this via systemd to ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon on; master_process on; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;' and also tried ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon on; master_process on;' -e /var/log/nginx/error.log

Info (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Server Arch: x86_64
Nginx UI Version: 1.24.0
Your Browser: Chrome

Hi @Fchen48, you should configure an nginx error log path for Nginx UI in '/usr/local/etc/nginx-ui/app.ini' then restart nginx-ui, refer to docs for more details: https://nginxui.com/guide/config-nginx.html#logs.
