nginx v1.10.2 Passenger 403 Homebrew Upgrade - ssl

Question

Multiple virtual hosts on my workstation, just stopped working. Upon an update of nginx to v1.10.2 and a new Passenger locations.ini file pointer in the nginx.conf file, I'm getting 403 Forbidden permissions errors on all of these vhosts. No clue what to look at.
passenger_root /usr/local/opt/passenger/libexec/src/ruby_supportlib/phusion_passenger/locations.ini;
passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby;
But, which ruby:
/Users/rich/.rbenv/shims/ruby
So I changed that directive to the one above. Restart nginx, and still the same. The error reported:
2017/10/23 19:51:36 [error] 10863#0: *61 directory index of "/Library/WebServer/Documents/alpha/public/" is forbidden, client: 127.0.0.1, server: alpha.local, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "alpha.local"
Permissions haven't changed ever. Not to mention they are relaxed (only seen by me):
drwxrwxrwx 20 rich admin 680B Jun 17 01:52 HQ
cd HQ:
drwxr-xr-x 8 rich admin 272B Jul 12 17:32 public
nginx.conf:
user root admin;
worker_processes 8;
error_log /usr/local/var/log/error.log debug;
pid /usr/local/var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
# index index.html index.erb;
access_log /usr/local/var/log/access.log;
passenger_root /usr/local/Cellar/passenger/5.1.11/libexec/src/ruby_supportlib/phusion_passenger/locations.ini;
passenger_ruby /Users/rich/.rbenv/shims/ruby;
passenger_friendly_error_pages on;

}

# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html?$query_string;
# index /;
# allow 192.168.1.0/24;
}
location = /img/favicon.ico { access_log off;}
}
nginx error log:
2017/10/24 15:35:39 [error] 10868#0: *86 directory index of "/Library/WebServer/Documents/alpha/public/" is forbidden, client: 127.0.0.1, server: alpha.local, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "alpha.local"
Odd stuff. Any ideas appreciated how to get all this serving again properly. It seems permissions were completely thrown off, and I'm not sure if it was the nginx update or not. Cheers
==============
Update 2: (changed alpha/HQ). Also, replicated on a completely separate box. Homebrew update, trips over nginx's dependency on openssl, which wants to update to version 1.1. I've posted in Github there. While I have no proof, it's the only feedback I have that shows a non-upgrade (still serving 1.12.0 instead of 1.12.2). So I am thinking it is that.

Fixed. Homebrew issue, conditional if Passenger is installed, choosing version of openssl (openssl, openssl#1.1).
