They're fine.

No, the user isn't root. The user and group on /var/www/html is
root:root; that's normal. But Jon meant the user that nginx runs as
when processing incoming HTTP requests, e.g. `www-data'. This is done
so an error in nginx, or in code you ask it to run, has limited access
rights when it goes haywire, or is exploited by an attacker.

The aim was to see if the pleb www-data can read the files that you want
to serve.

You are aware of Tab completion in the shell? `cd Aud<Tab>' completes
to Audio_Guide.

You earlier wrote:

nginx is taking the path part of the URL, from the `/' after the domain
name to the optional query parameters starting with a `?', and trying to
access that tacked on to /var/www/html. If the URL's path is
Audio_Guide then the directory has to match. This is why I suggested a
simple top-level now.txt as a known thing under /var/www/html. Or am I
misunderstanding the question?
Cheers, Ralph.
