Nginx permission denied for tmp directory (with correct user)

nginxWordpress

Whenever I submit a long post from within wordpress, I get the following error:

2013/06/04 03:04:19 [crit] 12248#0: *491 open() "/var/lib/nginx/tmp/client_body/0000000008" failed (13: Permission denied)

It works fine if the post isn't that long, but submitting a long one throws a 500 error on the front end, and this in my error log file :/

I tried googling and nothing is much help, other than to change the user or something

Right now I already have…

/var/lib/nginx/tmp/client_body owned by www:www (nginx) and set to 700 permissions

Best Answer

Use the following command to fix the permission of nginx folder.

sudo chmod -R 775 /var/lib/nginx/tmp

Hope it helps.

Or, you can change the nginx.log file permissions so they match your current user which you use to start nginx:

chown your_user /var/log/nginx/error.log

I suggest you add this permisions to the entire nginx log dir

chown -R your_user /var/log/nginx/

Set +x permissions to directories as:

chmod 700 -R /var/www/svn*

Its because directories are data files that hold two pieces of information for each file within, the file's name and it's inode number. Read permission is needed to access the names of files in a directory. Execute permission is needed to access the inodes of files in a directory, if you already know the file's name.
