Wordpress & NGINX = 403

I know i am probably late to answer, i hav been searching the answer myself because i encounter the exact problem. Below server block for nginx has solved my issue. I hope it helps

    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    root /var/www/your wordpress content;
    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name domain or IP address;

    location / {
         try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    }

<pre>directory index of “/var/www/broombanklandrovers.com/public_html/” is forbidden,</pre> <br>There it is. That’s the error. It says that the directory index of that directory is forbidden, which means that nginx doesn’t have any index files to serve. What’s the output of <code>ls /var/www/broombanklandrovers.com/public_html/</code>? Can you pastebin the whole virtualhost too?

This is the output : <br>index.php wp-blog-header.php wp-includes wp-settings.php <br>license.txt wp-comments-post.php wp-links-opml.php wp-signup.php <br>readme.html wp-config.php wp-load.php wp-trackback.php <br>wp-activate.php wp-content wp-login.php xmlrpc.php <br>wp-admin wp-cron.php <br> <br>and virtual host is: <br> <br># <br># A virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration <br># <br> <br>server { <br> listen 80; <br># listen *:80; <br> server_name broombanklandrovers.com; <br> <br> location / { <br> root /var/www/broombanklandrovers.com/public_html/; <br> index index.php index.html index.htm; <br> } <br>} <br> <br>server { <br> listen 80; <br># listen *:80; <br> server_name broombankoffroadadventures.com; <br> <br> location / { <br> root /var/www/broombankoffroadadventures.com/public_html/; <br> index index.php index.html index.htm; <br> } <br>}
