Drupal 8 update.php/selection - access denied I wanted to update d8 from 8.0.1 to 8.0.2, but i couldn't run the update.php due to the error "Access Denied". Am logged in as user1 which should have all required privileges.Following the drupal 8 update guide I deleted core and vendor folders with all the files in the drupal root from the the 8.0.1 install, and replaced the same files and folders from the newly downloaded 8.0.2 version.

What could be the solution to this problem?

My Environment:
OSX El Captain, nginx 1.8 using the latest config from nginx/drupal, PHP 7.0.2, 

See window capture below:



Many Thanks
After several frustrating days I figured the problem was from my configuration.
The conf file has
     "fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;"
instead of 
     "fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;"

Making this correction solved the problem.

Am grateful for all the support.
