Answer 1

The option you have specified --conf-path is not a homebrew supported option. You can see that by running this:
brew options openresty
Output
--with-debug
Compile with support for debug logging but without proper gdb debugging symbols
--with-geoip
Compile with ngx_http_geoip_module
--with-gunzip
Compile with ngx_http_gunzip_module
--with-iconv
Compile with support for converting character encodings
--with-postgresql
Compile with support for direct communication with PostgreSQL database servers
--with-stub_status
Compile with ngx_http_stub_status_module
--with-webdav
Compile with ngx_http_dav_module
--without-luajit
Compile *without* support for the Lua Just-In-Time Compiler
I think the only way to do what you want is to edit the formula, so you would do:
brew edit openresty
and then search down for conf-path, and edit the part that looks like this:
args = [
"--prefix=#{prefix}",
"--pid-path=#{var}/run/openresty.pid",
"--lock-path=#{var}/run/openresty.lock",
"--sbin-path=#{bin}/openresty",
"--conf-path=#{etc}/openresty/nginx.conf", <--- HERE
"--http-log-path=#{var}/log/nginx/access.log",
"--error-log-path=#{var}/log/nginx/error.log",
"--with-pcre",
"--with-pcre-jit",
"--with-cc-opt=#{cc_opt}",
"--with-ld-opt=#{ld_opt}",
]
You may need to do:
brew tap homebrew/nginx
before running the above commands.
