405 is usually "Method Not Allowed", such as when you try to POST to a file.

But in this case, you do your own "return 405".

What happens if the nginx user does

ls -l "/usr/share/path/to/my/lumen/public/directory/<snip>/public/lumen/"

? And: does that error.log entry only appear once? I would expect it
twice per request, given your config.

So, $uri fails (permission denied), $uri/ fails (permission denied),
so now there is an internal rewrite to /index.php.

And unless /usr/local/nginx/html/index.php exists, that "return 405"
will happen.

That's why what you have fails today.

Does searching for something like "site:laravel.com nginx" or
"site:nginx.com laravel" or "site:nginx.org laravel" return useful docs?
