  <p>I have php-fpm installed and runnning <code>rc.d start php-fpm</code> on my arch linux server works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something that prevents nginx from using the php-fpm server - which should serve up my wordpress site located in /srv/http/wordpress in this reverse proxy set-up?</p>
  
  <p>I am getting a 403 Forbidden error when I access blog.mysite.com and in my nginx error logs, the same errors are shown:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2012/03/03 05:09:30 [error] 26414#0: *7 directory index of "/srv/http/wordpress/" is forbidden, client: 133.235.39.138, server: blog.mysite.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "blog.mysite.com"  
  </code></pre>
