Nginx displaying blank page, doesn't error

[Eric Griffith]

Was able to figure it out after a fresh night of sleep and some more
googling; the reason it worked under /srv/http but not under
/home/public; was because in /etc/php/php-fpm.conf there was a
semi-hidden line for

user
group

and they were both set to http; which is fine for /srv/http/ cuz http
owns them; but since its a home directory, it needed to be

user     public
group     users

Thanks anyway guys; if nothing else you made me start looking at it
being php's fault instead of nginx's haha
