Wordpress on nginx can't create files

Question

I'm running Wordpress with HHVM + nginx and wonder, why Wordpress can't create files and isn't allowed to write to directories, even if they are at CHMOD 777.

I'm using W3 Total Cache Plugin and get this message:

enter image description here

But wp-content is at 777 (for testing purposes). Whats wrong with the server configuration?

Yes it is. I used this approach: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18817767/1184904 — Slevin, Jun 13 '14 at 08:16

That's did the trick:

sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/chefgrill.de/public_html
sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/chefgrill.de/public_html

Nginx need nginx usergroup permission not apache permission.

Nginx does not have permission to write. So give correct permission.

Here is correct command.

chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/chefgrill.de

This will allow nginx to write.
