When setting nginx worker-process user to different than root on CentOS7 it returns 404 not found.
working with user root; in nginx.conf

On error.log
2019/06/07 15:35:06 [crit] 3838#3838: *1 stat() "/mnt/projects/samir" failed (13: Permission denied), client: [removed], server: [removed], request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "[removed]"
What permissions I need to add ? I tested changing group of folder to nginx:nginx, adding 777 permission, 755 tested also.
Solution:
chmod +x -R /mnt/projects
