Antergos Linux - LEMP stack - Nginx 403

Question

Just came over to the Arch side of things. I am having a lot of trouble getting my local LEMP stack to work to work on Antergos. Currently the server block local page is returning a 403 error.

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

#user html;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    include       sites-enabled/*;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    #log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
    #                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        #charset koi8-r;

        #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

        location / {
            root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
            index  index.html index.htm;
        }

        #error_page  404              /404.html;

        # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
        #
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        }

        # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
        #
        #location ~ \.php$ {
        #    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
        #}

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
        #
        #location ~ \.php$ {
        #    root           html;
        #    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        #    fastcgi_index  index.php;
        #    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
        #    include        fastcgi_params;
        #}

        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        #location ~ /\.ht {
        #    deny  all;
        #}
    }


    # another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       8000;
    #    listen       somename:8080;
    #    server_name  somename  alias  another.alias;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}


    # HTTPS server
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       443 ssl;
    #    server_name  localhost;

    #    ssl_certificate      cert.pem;
    #    ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;

    #    ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:1m;
    #    ssl_session_timeout  5m;

    #    ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    #    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}

}

/etc/nginx/sites-available/projects.local

server {
    listen 80;
    #listen [::]:80;

    server_name project.local www.project.local;

    root /home/l/install/project/www;

    access_log  /home/l/install/project/www/log/access.log;
    error_log   /home/l/install/project/www/log/error.log;

        location / {
            index index.html index.htm index.php;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }

}

And the last entry in the error log:

"GET /test/index.html HTTP/1.1", host: "project.local" 2016/06/28 12:18:45 [error] 28652#28652: *1 open() "/home/l/install/project/www/test" failed (13: Permission denied), client: 127.0.0.1, server: project.local, request: "GET /test HTTP/1.1", host: "project.local"

And an ls -la of the www folder reveals:

[l@l project]$ ls -la total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 l users 4096 Jun 28 10:14 . drwxr-xr-x 4 l users 4096 Jun 28 10:13 .. drwxrwxrwx 4 l users 4096

Inside the www folder there is a test folder, also 'l users' and inside of the test folder is index.php also belong to l and users respectively.

EDIT: Question to be considered closed. Moved to Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome.

Try moving your www directory outside of /home. For example, you could move it to /srv/www and change the owner of the directory to the html user and group:

sudo mv /home/l/www /srv
sudo chown -R html:html /srv/www

Be sure to update your nginx.conf accordingly. Hope it helps!
