this does not seem right

ls -la /etc/amplify-agent
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 May 5 14:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 159 root root 12288 May 7 14:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data root 1212 Apr 26 11:20 agent.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1244 May 5 10:15 agent.conf.default

somehow two conf files got into above dir ... I fixed this issue by re-installing :

sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx-amplify-agent
sudo apt-get install nginx-amplify-agent
