Resolved Can't access site after restart

Toxalot

Basic Pleskian
Currently running Plesk 12.0.18 on Centos 6.7

I restarted the server through the Plesk panel and now I can't access the websites on the server on port 80 (or 443).

I CAN access the sites on port 7080 (and 7081).

This Plesk page suggests checking if nginx is running and to start it if it's not.
Websites do not respond on 80 port but respond properly on 7080 port

I tried starting nginx and got the following message... "Not starting nginx as it is disabled in config"

I know that nginx is used for something, but not exclusively because I use .htaccess which doesn't work with nginx.

I'm sure I've restarted the server before without issue.

Suggestions?
 
What about

# /etc/init.d/nginx status
# /etc/init.d/nginx start
# lsof -i tcp:80

?
 
It says that nginx is stopped, but it won't start. As explained in first post, I get "Not starting nginx as it is disabled in config". The last command yields nothing. If I understand correctly, it's not listening on port 80. But what do I do about that?
 
Try to re-enable nginx with

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/nginxmng -d
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/nginxmng -e
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

after that try to start again:

# /etc/init.d/nginx start
