Please note I have tried the reference post that is a possible duplicate. The error only happens in System config when I try to save a new Product Placeholder
I am getting the following error when trying to save a product place holder. I am able to save product images without an issue.

I have tried this without success
Getting “access forbidden by rule” error at magento in nginx server /app/etc/local.xml
UPDATES:
I have set my permissions on the entire site to 644 and 755 with my var, media and app/etc to set to o+w. Problem still is happening.

The problem is actually with the first part of the error in the log
The user assigned to that account was user:nginx, I switched the site to run on nginx:nginx and then re-chowned the folder /var/lib/nginx/tmp to nginx:nginx and it works.
The problem was that the main user did not have right to create the tmp file in that folder.
