I changed the user and group in my /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf from
user = php-fpm group = php-fpm
TO
user = nginx group = nginx
And Wordpress has no problems reading/writing to it’s wp-content directories
But after I do this it breaks my phpmyadmin folder and keeps it from loading at all until I change it back to php-fpm for the user:group.
How can I fix this so Wordpress can read/write as nginx:nginx but still be able to access my phpmyadmin that runs as php-fpm?
