Upgrade No Input File Specified - Logs?

Fair warning, noob question ahead!

I just upgraded nginx (to 1.9.7) and php-fpm (to 5.6.15) on our dev server (running v1.2.3-eva2000.08) and now I'm seeing intermittent no input file specified errors. Last time this happened @Matt fixed it, but I'd like to learn how to track it down and fix it on my own. Is there a log file I can reference, or somewhere else I can find clues as to what could be causing it?

Yep, in the browser, forum_list. We have a chatbox which refreshes, so if I leave a window open it'll pop up eventually. It's also happened a few times in the admin panel.

 

Great, this gives me something to go on. Are there no log files that would indicate what exactly might be causing it?

Edit: Yep, XF.

 

I just updated the permissions, so we'll see if that fixes it

 

I really appreciate how thoroughly you document everything

 

Yep, looks like it's a permission issue.

2015/12/01 14:02:19 [error] 22539#22539: *2236 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /home/xenforo/index.php (Operation not permitted)"

Upon inspection it looks like they're all over the map

Hope this fixed it

 

I actually took that out for security (I'm a little paranoid)

 

Hmm, I guess that didn't fix it. I just verified all folders are 0755 and all files are 0644 (except data and internal_data at 0777). I've also made sure the basedir line is commented out in php.conf (and verified with phpinfo).

Code:

2015/12/01 16:17:03 [error] 22539#22539: *2940 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/xenforo/admin.php (Operation not permitted)" while reading response header from upstream, client: x.x.x.x, server: domain.com, request: "GET /xenforo/admin.php?styles/style1.14/export&&_xfRequestUri=%2Fxenforo%2Fadmin.php%3Fstyles%2F&_xfNoRedirect=1&_xfToken=1%2C1449015414%2_xfResponseType=json HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "domain.com", referrer: "https://domain.com/xenforo/admin.php?styles/"

 

I just noticed it looks like some of this stuff may be doubled up.

Ah thanks for taking the time to check that out. I'm sure those tips will keep me busy for a few hours tomorrow!

What's the best way to password protect a directory?
