I asked pro chat gpt he raised questions about selinux, but he is inactive! still the CSS presents error to read the files.

This happens to me a lot as well. this is the snippet you can use:

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /home/victor/helpme/tickets #for nginx user
sudo chmod -R 775 /home/victor/helpme/tickets
