Ok, but these are the only two lines that are not commented out:

zimbra soft nofile 524288
zimbra hard nofile 524288

I followed your instructions with no change in results, but did get this error:

zimbra@giskard:~$ zmproxyctl start

You are missing the port for auth_http. This means the reverse proxy URLs aren't populated in your server.

What is the output of

zmprov garpu

It should look something like:
giskard.k7sle.com:7072/service/extension/nginx-lookup

zimbra@giskard:~$ zmprov garpu
giskard.k7sle.com:7072/service/extension/nginx-lookup

Ugh... Any other ideas? I'd like to somehow backup the messages and just blow this whole install away and reinstall cleanly. I didn't find a specific wiki to help deal with that scenario. Hopefully, that might fix the problem? Oh, and though I haven't yet said it, I'll say it now: "Thanks! I really appreciate your help. "

Another option is to simply disable or remove the zmproxy component since, as a single server, I don't really need it, but, when I upgraded, couldn't remember if I was using it. All that I really care about is having an encrypted connection to the server. I didn't see any documentation on that idea anywhere, either.

What does line 47 of your nginx.conf file show, just so we can make sure the substitution worked right.

[k7sle]

auth_http giskard.k7sle.com:7072/service/extension/nginx-lookup ;

[quanah]

Can you connect to port 7072 via telnet?

[k7sle]

cgauthie@giskard:~$ telnet 127.0.0.1:7072
telnet: could not resolve 127.0.0.1:7072/telnet: Name or service not known

[quanah]

telnet giskard.k7sle.com 7072

would be the proper command.

[k7sle]

doh.... I was thinking of windows again....
