Nginx hls stream error

I have set up nginx with the current latest version following https://docs.peer5.com/guides/setting-up-hls-live-streaming-server-using-nginx/

I have connected successfully to the server and VCL was receiving a stream.

I left it for one week. When I returned I found I could not longer receive hls streams, or any streams.

I have tried many different pathways of installation but the most successful is still the one I followed above. Every new installation attempt falls at the hls stream pusshing from the server.

Output from nginx root folder:

So there is a stream being produced.

Can anyone assist in identifying the error please?
