Hi all!
I just got a new server up and running with Virtualmin with Nginx and have been very happy with the feature set and the capability for the cost (can’t beat free!). The problem that I’m having is that while the first (and most important) server on my VPS is working quite well, I can’t seem to get the second server I created and all of the sub-servers underneath to work. At first, I was getting a 403 Forbidden error for everything (files that existed, files that didn’t exist, empty folders, folders with no index files, etc.). Following the (somewhat inconclusive) advise of other threads I’ve run across, I’ve modified some of the permissions in some of the folders (the main public_html, the sub-server root directories (i.e. /home/account/domains/example.domain.com), and the sub-server public_html directories), and now Nginx is serving static files from the affected domains, but is returning a 502 Bad Gateway error when trying to access any PHP files.
Here’s my Nginx configuration (domain names have been changed for privacy):

As the names suggest, “workingdomain.com” is the server that’s working, and “nonworkingdomain.com” is the server that isn’t. If any additional would be helpful, please let me know!
If anyone could offer any insight or possible solutions to try, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
