Странная проблема перенаправления на сервере nginx при перенаправлении на index.html

Я пытаюсь развернуть одностраничное приложение с помощью nginx, и вот конфигурация ниже.

 server {
    listen 24670 default_server;
    listen [::]:24670 default_server;
    server_name *******;

        root /home/gerry/client/dist;
        index index.html index.htm;

        location / {
           try_files $uri /index.html;
        }
}

Всякий раз, когда я пытаюсь получить доступ к странице, я получаю 500 Internal Server Error, а при проверке журналов я вижу следующую ошибку.

Я уже установил разрешения и права собственности на www-data и не уверен, что еще мне нужно сделать для обслуживания файла index.html.
