2013/08/22 19:44:37 [error] 2277#0: *1 open() "/home/wmp/www/cokolwiek.redcraft.pl/htdocs/test.html" failed (13: Permission denied), client: 77.255.238.208, server: cokolwiek.redcraft.pl, request: "GET /test.html HTTP/1.1", host: "cokolwiek.redcraft.pl"

This is directory structure:

Quoting ​http://nginx.org/r/disable_symlinks:

On systems that do not support opening of directories only for search, to use these parameters
it is required that worker processes have read permissions for all directories being checked.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
