The most important thing here is wich user is using nginx then do you need specify it as well

in your nginx.conf

user www-data;
worker_processes  1;

        location / {
            root   /usr/home/user/public_html;
            index  index.php index.html index.htm;
        }
        location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    /usr/home/user/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
            include fastcgi_params;
        }

in your www.conf

listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
;listen.mode = 0660

in your case the user and group is "www" so just replace it.

• restart nginx and php fpm
