nginx - No input file specified. laravel application

Question

This is the nginx config file in Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;

    root /var/www/html/public;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;
    server_name _;

        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {

                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/site.com.sock;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME 
                $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        }

}

When visiting the site i get: No input file specified.

/var/run/php/site.com.sock exists:

root MainTest /var/run/php ls -la /var/run/php/

this is the /var/log/nginx/error.log

Can you verify that there is an index.php in /var/www/html/public/. That is a non-standard root. Can you also verify that the user nginx is running as had access to that folder
