Your nginx server runs as once user/group. Your php server runs as
one user/group.

If you look at the output of each of

ls -ld /
ls -ld /var
ls -ld /var/www
ls -ld /var/www/servergreek.com
ls -ld /var/www/servergreek.com/public_html
ls -ld /var/www/servergreek.com/public_html/www
ls -ld /home
ls -ld /home/servergreek.com
ls -ld /home/servergreek.com/public_html
ls -ld /home/servergreek.com/public_html/www

are any of them different from the others? Particularly between the
"working" and "not working" set, and probably in the last of the ten
fields that probably have "drwx" as the first four.

If the user/group running nginx is unable to access a file, it will lead
to an error. If the user/group running php is unable to access a file,
it will lead to an error.
