I have been getting this error
2013/03/13 13:25:07 [crit] 49299#0: *38 rename()
"/var/tmp/nginx/fastcgi_temp/6/00/0000000006" to
"/var/cache/nginx/microcache/8/fd/c36e398490d9b70e3c98ba094d065fd8"
failed (13: Permission denied) while reading upstream
I tried other informations in Nginx and SO forums like changing the owner of folder/file, deleting the microcache folder for Nginx to create new by itself, but nothing seems to work.
My Nginx config has www
as user(owner, in FreeBSD) all these folders /var/tmp/nginx/fastcgi_temp/
and /var/cache/nginx/microcache/
has www
as user(owner) and wheel
as group.
To test it I even gave -R 777
to those above mentioned folders and restart nginx, but error.log
still says same error. Can't even think of what might possibly be wrong here, any guidance would be appreciated.

I fixed this up with giving permission to its parent directories.
/var/cache/nginx
all had Read Only permissions, while/var/cache/nginx/microcache/
had All permissions, it worked only after I changed/var/
,/var/cache/
and/var/cache/nginx/
permission to 766. This is still weird but it works for me.
