Nginx session issues (403)

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

Hello,
I am trying to set up chevereto on an nginx based server, successfully installed the application (I think) and now I am getting 403 errors everywhere (except for index and gallery routes). Not sure where I did wrong but here's the server block for the site:

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

   server_name domain.com;

   root /home/username/html;
   index index.php index.html index.htm;

   add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
   add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
   add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";

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

   location ~ \.php$ {
     fastcgi_keep_conn on;
     fastcgi_index index.php;
     include fastcgi_params;
     fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm-username.sock;
   }

   #location ~ /\. {
  #  deny all;
  #}

  location /favicon.ico {
     log_not_found off;
  }

  #location ~ /(app|lib) {
   #   location ~ \.php$ {
   #     internal;
   #   }
   #}
}

Forgot to mention, the error that is being logged in nginx is:

FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: Request denied" while reading response header from upstream.

okay, fixed it myself after looking into the code... looks like the PHP sessions were not saving in the file system because of permission issues. Updated the php.ini file and everything is working smoothly 😀
