# nginx 403 forbidden的一种情况

Nginx是一款性能强大的Web 服务器/反向代理服务器，截至至今年春季，世界Alexa排名前1000的网站中38.8％的使用nginx，超过Apache和IIS。

Nginx的配置不算复杂，但有时自己配置的server，无论如何也不能正常工作，页面提示403 Forbidden，察看日志可能是这样的提示

```

```

我把/root/nginx这个目录下所有的文件，文件夹的owner 改成 nginx:nginx 都不能解决这个问题，刚开始觉得奇怪，后来把nginx文件夹，移到/var目录下就可以了。

原来，nginx需要任何父层级的目录都有nginx用户读的权限。
