Simply make sure your directories meet the read/write requirements as outlined.
You are not allowing your
xenforo.com
In addition to that, you need to make SURE that your root directory has read/write access for whatever user nginx/php-fpm is running as.
You are not allowing your
HTTP user (usually nginx) read/write access to the necessary directories.
XF 2.1 - What are the proper CHMOD Permissions for data and internal_data
I had to fix a bunch of permissions today because I installed using the CLI. Normally, folders are set to 0755 and files to 0644. The data and internal_data need to be writable and the only way I could get an addon to install was to set the permissions for every folder recursively to 077...
xenforo.com

Until you make sure your chmod/chown settings are correct.. you are going to have issues.
Is this a "self-rolled" system, or are you by chance using the excellent CentMin mod?
Typically
www-data is apache specific.. not nginx. Usually using nginx relates to the nginx:nginx user/group setting.

I just tried that www-data as chatgpt suggest but not successful. I change to root now. I installed plain Ubuntu, Nginx, MariaDb, Php8.1

you need to check what users
PHP-FPM and NGINX are running as... and make sure at least nginx user has read/write ability to the necessary directories. What you are seeing is VERY typical of permission issues.It is one reason that I don't recommend, unless you are Linux admin proficient, that you "roll your own". Even with the fact that CentOS expires in about 7 months, going with CentMin Mod is a much easier proposition.
Sometimes installs run
nginx/php-fpm under the WWW user.... have you used PS to check what user nginx and php-fpm is running under?The problem with following a lot of the "guides" you find on the interwebz is that they aren't complete.

Thanks for your reply
heres my
Code:
ps aux | grep php-fpm | grep -v grep
Code:
root 619 0.0 0.1 225288 29292 ? Ss 09:45 0:00 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php/8.1/fpm/php-fpm.conf)
www-data 1538 2.8 0.4 383400 78208 ? S 10:39 1:34 php-fpm: pool www
www-data 1552 3.0 0.4 532220 79100 ? S 10:44 1:31 php-fpm: pool www
www-data 1986 1.3 0.4 380500 66120 ? S 11:28 0:05 php-fpm: pool wwwI tried using root and www-data but both not working. I dont see nginx user

You need to check your
ngiinx config also and see what user it is running under.user nginx nginx;and then check your
php-fpm user.I'm, pretty sure that actually you need to grant read/write access to the
nginx user.. but not knowing how you set your system up I cannot guarantee that.

no, but somewhere int the guide you used it had to set the
nginxuser... and there are so many guides out there (and many of them with issues) that I can't tell you exactly where to look. What you are looking at appear to be the vhost config... not the actual nginx config which usually sets the nginx user and not a vhost setting.
