Question

I have installed nginx on centos. When I try to open a website I get this error:

}

I tested php with replacing content of index.php with <?php phpinfo(); and there is no problem.

Any suggestion?

You have specified a 404 error page that does not exist. Try creating one in /var/www/mywebsite.com/web/error/404.html and see if it starts working.
