Hello, I am having trouble running Nginx behind kong. I am not sure if I need to start kong in a certain directory. The db of choice is Cassandra. Migrations seem to have worked. I was expecting to see a ‘kong started’ which I do but only when I explicitly run ‘kong restart’. Here’s a gist link of the current error following ‘kong health --vv’

Here a log in GitHub gist:

Please help! Thank you!
