init.d is not the right supervisor to use on Ubuntu anymore, you should use Upstart. Put this in /etc/init/nginx.conf and you will be able to start/stop it with sudo start nginx and sudo stop nginx:

description "nginx http daemon"
author "George Shammas"

start on (filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo)
stop on runlevel [!2345]

env DAEMON=/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /my/project/config/nginx.conf
env PID=/usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid

expect fork
respawn
respawn limit 10 5

pre-start script
    $DAEMON -t
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]
            then exit $?
    fi
end script

exec $DAEMON
