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.
