Hi! I’ve got this error, and it’s very complicated to solve it, I’ve got two wordpress installations in my droplet and it will be the third. I’ve got the same configuration (With different root route and server names) in the server and this third installation doesn’t work. The error_log in the folder doesn’t show a problem and when I do the “service nginx reload/restart” it’s everything ok. Please help!

Hello,
This looks like a permissions issue, as your files are currently owned by the root user. What you need to do is to change the owner and the group of your files to the Niginx user.
To do that you could run the following command:
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/bnnddr.com
This would change the owner and the group of all files and folders inside the /var/www/bnnddr.com to the www-data user which is the suer that your Nginx service is set to run as.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
