Thanks, Amitesh, for this info. It makes sense to me now!
Since nothing worked, I manually copied all the necessary libraries to a
folder where the NginX serves its static files—it worked. However, while I
was copying those files, I had noticed a file with an empty name (shown as
'/' in the Linux system) in one of my folders!
I will test this in another environment with the above info in mind.
Thanks once again.
With regards,
Maadis
