internal error 500

[xstation]

I'm aware of the locations of index HTML on my server but the problem is
that Nginx by default looks in this location in Debian 8 the thing is if I
have something like:



I create this link as root

ln -s /home/echolot/echolot/results /var/www/echolot



and this link as  echolot user

ln -sf echolot.html index.html


Now the problem is when I go to mydomain/echolot, I get this internal error
page

What am I doing wrong and how can I possibly resolve it?
