Make sure nginx has permissions to read the directory and files.

Assuming your nginx.conf has a user www-data; line, you need to give permissions to user www-data to that directory:

$ sudo chown -R root:www-data /root/appJs/public
$ sudo chmod o+X /root /root/appJs
$ sudo chmod -R g=rX /root/appJs/public
