I'm getting a 502 bad gateway on nginx, and the following on the logs: connect() to ...myproject.sock failed (No such directory or file /home/nickname/myproject/myproject.sock) while connecting to upstream.
Although I went to create the file "myproject.sock" in the myproject directory which gives me (13: Permission denied) error.

My working dir (myproject) is in /home/nickname dir. And I also created myprojectenv in the /home/nickname directory as well, making it 2 directory in the /home/nickname

Also the chmod-socket was 660 but I changed it to 666 thinking it was a privileges issue, but I still have an error 502.
