Nginx reports 403 code when using Laravel framework

Hi,

I just installed my first droplet (LEMP) thanks to some information on DO tutorials. But I’m having a problem and I dont know what is the cause (or fix :) ) for the issue.

I created a new file in ‘sites-available’ with the following server block;

 server {
 
	server_name ~^(.+)\.dev\.mydomain\.nl$;
	set $file_path $1;
	
	root /home/dev-mydomain-nl/$file_path/public/;
	index index.php;
	
	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
	}
	


	# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
	location ~ \.php$ {
			try_files $uri /index.php =404;
			fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
			fastcgi_index index.php;
			fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
			include fastcgi_params;
	}
	
}

As you can see, I created a wildcard subdomain which also has a variable root directory. I also installed the Laravel framework. When I visit a domain, I see Laravels default page. But as soon as I browser to an page (for example …nl/test/) I get the 403 - Forbidden page.

The error in the log file also states:

directory index of "/home/dev-mydomain-nl/mike/public/test/" is forbidden

What should happen, is that all trafic is routed to the index file (unless the file itself exists). But what should I change in the Nginx config?
