Nginx: stat() failed (13: permission denied)

Question

I am using the default config while adding the specific directory with nginx installed on my ubuntu 12.04 machine.

server {
        #listen   80; ## listen          


        

Answer 1

This is usually the privilege problem... For me, its because i use the /root/** as the nginx root, it need higher privilege. An easy way is just move the project into a directory created by yourself.
