Looks like you have either a corrupt or missing file.

Permissions set correctly on /data and /internal_data and all files/directories below it?
Additionally what does your nginx error log reflect?

What's the actual URL you are getting the 404 on?

Sorry, how exactly do I check the permissions?
There is no error log about this too..

There isn´t a url, when I´m at my profile page and click the avatar picture to change it, a pop-up window comes up with the message.

Can you access any other page in your account? Can you access this URL on your board:
http://xenforo.com/community/account/avatar
?

No I can´t. The first time I try i get a 404, then the other times I click the picture nothing happens

Depends on whether you are accessing your server via SSH or via a panel (cPanel, etc). In cPanel (and the other panels) you should have a file explorer/browser. You can check the permissions (they should be 777 for those two directories and the ones below them).
If using cPanel a nice little tutorial can be found at http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cpanel/file_permissions.htm

To change the folders permissions on the /data and /internal_data under your root forum directory to 777 and also any directories below those two to the same.

Thanks! I´ll let you know when he does it

Make sure you don't have an account directory on your system.

Didn´t work..

Make sure you don't have an account directory on your system.

How do I check that?

 

[Jeremy]

Look at your files and verify you don't have a directory named account.

There is not.

This is something outside XF. I've confirmed the issue, but you can see the issue by putting "/avatar" at the end of your root domain URL -- even though "/avatars" gives a 404 as expected.

You've specified something somewhere in your nginx config that involves the word "avatar".

A friend of mine said that this jquery is causing the trouble

js/jquery/jquery-1.10.1.min.map

What you think?

 

[Jeremy]

jQuery won't cause an nginx 404 like that.

He just found out why it was happening. My server was caching TAR archives, and the url ends is TAR (avaTAR)
Lol, it looks like a joke, but its not. Now it only caches .tar, and its working. Thanks everyone!
