ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING on a fresh Laravel install

Question

This only happens on Google Chrome and Chromium with a fresh install of Laravel.

The page shows blank and in the console it says:

(failed) net

Had the same problem on a Ubuntu 14.04 Vagrant box running nginx. The site is a Laravel 5 that one day surprisingly started throwing those errors.

After reading this comment: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar/issues/262#issuecomment-74385850

I've checked my /var/log/nginx/vagrant.com-error.log.1 and saw:

[crit] 1020#0: *774 open() "/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi/3/03/0000000033" failed (13: Permission denied) while reading upstream, client: 192.168.56.1, server: 192.168.56.102.xip.io, request: "GET /_debugbar/assets/javascript?1423122680 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "my-host", referrer: "http://url/that/fails"

Double-checked my Vagrant box nginx lib directory permissions ll /var/lib/

drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 feb 9 11:28 nginx/

... where internally was using www-data user: ll /var/lib/nginx/

drwx------ 12 www-data root 4096 may 5 13:32 fastcgi/

So I ran:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/nginx

And the error in Chrome disappeared.

Just posting here to notice the solution, even all the credits should go to the linked original comment.
