Nginx PHP5.6 permission eror

Question

I am getting the following error in my Nginx error.log file, what do I need to do to prevent this from happening?

2016/06/28 09:43:37 [crit] 1631#0: *1 connect() to unix:/run/php/php5.6 fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.56.1, server: my-vm, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock:", $host: "my-vm-1"

Nginx runs with www-data permissions. The permissions of the folder that the error message is referencing (/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock) are as follows:

drwxr-xr-x 20 root       root         700 Jun 28 09:45 run
drwxr-xr-x 2  www-data   www-data     80  Jun 28 09:44 php
srw-rw---- 1  www-data   www-data     0   Jun 28 09:44 php5.6-fpm.sock

The user/group of PHP (/etc/php/5.6/fpm/pool.d/www.conf) is:

user = www-data
group = www-data
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.mode = 0660

The nginx.conf file does not have any user value set. Some people have suggested setting this to www-data, but if I set this the Nginx service won't start, hence why it is ommitted.

one solution is use nginx as user in nginx config and add user nginx to www-data group — Vamsi Krishna B, Jun 28 '16 at 10:26

I fixed this by adding the following user directive to the top of my nginx.conf file:

user www-data www-data;
