nginx permissions for /home/user/www

Hi,

I dropped apache and installed and configured nginx with php-fpm. My default webroot is located in /srv/http and everything there meets the expectations and PHP, HTML work fine. Because the directory /srv/http is owned by root:root, I didn't want to put my development projects there. Instead I've created a directory in my ~, called www/ and updated the nginx.conf.

After restarting nginx and php-fpm, I couldn't get to see any files in my /home/user/www.

The permissions:

-user /home

drwx--x--x 23 user user 4096 Jul 26 19:21 user

-www dir /home/user/

drwxr-xr-x 2 user user    4096 Jul 26 20:25  www

The nginx.conf

user http http;
worker_processes  auto;
worker_cpu_affinity auto;
pcre_jit on;

error_log  logs/error.log;
error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
error_log  logs/error.log  info;
#pid        logs/nginx.pid;


events { worker_connections  2048; }


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    aio threads;
    server_tokens off;
    charset utf-8;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    #gzip  on;

server {
    listen       127.0.0.1;
    server_name  localhost.dev;
    root         /srv/http;

    location / {
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
    }
}

server {
    listen       127.0.0.1;
    server_name  user.localhost.dev;
    root         /home/user/www;

    # PHP in user directories, e.g. http://example.com/~user/test.php
    location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.+\.php)$ {
        alias          /home/$1/www$2;
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        include        /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
    }

    # User directories, e.g. http://example.com/~user/
    location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ {
        alias     /home/$1/www$2;
        index     index.html index.htm;
        autoindex on;
    }

    location / {
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

}


}

The php-pfm/www.conf [ partly ]

user = http
group = http

php.ini - I added these

open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/:/etc/webapps/

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1	user.localhost.dev
127.0.0.1	localhost.dev

I know by running nginx as default it creates a root process and http childrens who can't access to my www/ with my current permission.
How do I allow access for these to my projects directory /home/user/www?

I would like to avoid using /srv/http for my projects.

Thanks in advance.
