Recently had an unhelpful 500 error in the Nginx access log, which needed multiple changes to the php-fpm config, besides the usual WP_DEBUG constants, to actually write the errors somewhere. | |

I had that problem once, couldn't figure it out though. I took this route to fix it. It is obvious that you have your details of your db and a back-up as well. Delete your wp-config.php. Because wordpress can't find wp-config.php it will automatically take you to setting up a wp-config.php. When asked for db details, enter the details of your db. Wordpress will now create a new wp-config.php and you should be able to see your site normally. One thing I would advice is to flush your permalinks when you log in
