Nginx php7.4 permission denied

Question

I have stacked with permission denied on my php site. I have tried lot of different configuration but no luck. I am using nginx 1.16, php 7.4 centos. Right now I have disable SELinux and rest configuration:

Nginx runs with user nginx.

Site permissions folders have 775 permissions and files 664. For both of these owner is my user and group is nginx.

Php-fpm: user: myuser, group: nginx, owneruser: nginx, ownergroup: nginx, mode: 0660

I am trying to access a simple test.php file that echoes "hello".

My browser shows a white screen with 404 error and the log files show permission denied.

UPDATE

I tested with a test.html page and still got permission denied so I guess it is not something with php but something with nginx.

Below are excerpts from access and error.log accordingly:

Access log excerpt:

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Well It seems I had made a studipd mistake. I has misstyped the cgi gateway on nginx and php-fpm configuration files. These two should be the same.
