nginx doesn't log anything

I think the problem could come from this piece of setting:

server {
    listen 127.0.0.1;
    server_name localhost;
    location /nginx_status {
    stub_status on;
>>>>access_log off; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< You are setting them to be off
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    deny all;
}

    I'm running a FreeBSD 9-Stable server, with nginx.
    My configuration is here:

    user www www;
    worker_processes 5;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/nginx-error.log;
    events {
        worker_connections 1024;
    }
    http {
        include mime.types;
        include fastcgi_params;
        index index.html index.htm index.php;
        default_type application/octet-stream;
        log_format   main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]  $status '

            server_name localhost;

            stub_status on;
            access_log off;
            allow 127.0.0.1;
            deny all;
            }
        }

            root /var/www/munin;
        }
    
    }
    

    My problem, actually, is that I dont have any log! /var/log/nginx/nginx-access.log or -error.log are empty. The server is running, restarted after config edit.

    drwxr-xr-x  27 root  wheel       512 31 déc 14:45 var
    drwxr-xr-x   6 root        wheel    1,5k  1 jan 22:41 log
    drwxr-xr-x  2 www     www       512B  1 jan 21:28 nginx
    -rw-r--r--  1 www  www  0  1 jan 21:28 nginx-access.log
    -rw-r--r--  1 www  www  0  2 déc 16:48 nginx-error.log
    

    The both files are not written by nginx, but the user www has access to them.

    ╭─<root@Dragonborn>-</var/log/nginx>-<22:44:38>-◇

    The server doesn't have any other problems, and is running fine.

    Oh, My, God. Indeed, this part of the code disable all the log. How can I disable the log only for status now ?

    I must say I don't know why it blocks all the logs… what happens if you don't set it? It shouldn't log anything for your 'status' server as there aren't any defaults settings and it should let all the other logs go on.
