    Hi

    After installing Centminmod i upload some files and they auto get permissions as root as i do not have any other users created on system.....

    Is it better to chown them to nginx/nginx ?

    Thanks

    Great thanks but what problems can i have if i use the folders and files with root permissions?

    Even if a user get access from web application he will not be able to edit any file without root permissions ....

    Yeah you can leave them root if you want but PHP-FPM won't be able to modify, alter or move them if the web app you uses requires to. e.g. wordpress add/remove/update plugins or update wordpress core itself.
