nginx permission denied issue

I am running parent proc with root user and workers procs with my username that has permission to read/write static folder. I am getting permission error.

2016/02/15 13:43:09 [error] 6944#0: *855 open() "/home/jisu/sited/site/static/css/bootstrap.min.css" failed (13: Permission denied), client: 24.185.93.168, server: web.site.edu, request: "GET /static/css/bootstrap.min.css HTTP/1.1", host: "web.site.edu", referrer: "http://web.site.edu/"

Procs:

[jisu@web home]$ ps -ef | fgrep nginx    
root      2603     1  0 Feb09 ?        00:00:00 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx

jisu   6944  2603  0 13:38 ?        00:00:00 nginx: worker process

jisu   6945  2603  0 13:38 ?        00:00:00 nginx: worker process

jisu   7015  6846  0 13:44 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -F --color=auto nginx

Directory path is also correct:

location /static/ {
    alias /home/jisu/sited/site/static/;
}

Let me know if there are other configs you'd like to see.

Changing SELinux to “permissive” mode resolved this issue. It was in “enforcing” mode.

Does nginx have access to the entire path hierarchy? Since you have /home in there, nginx would need to be able to +x into each of the directories from /home to /static. Unfortunately just having it have access to only that directory isn't enough as far as I know. It does not need to be able to write to each, but it needs to be able to "execute" each directory in the path.
