    I've used apache:apache and somehow it's working. But right now i've got another problem: PrestaShop installation needs to write critical files in the folder var/cache. Please review the permissions on your server.

    change var/www/html/presta owner to www-data if you’re using apache or to nginx if you’re using nginx.

    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/presta

    But DO NOT change permissions to 777 since this wil open your site completely, change directories to 0755 and files to 0644 instead.

    Inside shop root folder:

    find . -type f -exec chmod 644 -- {} + to set proper permissions for all files

    find . -type d -exec chmod 755 -- {} + to set proper permissions for all directories

    chmod 666 .htaccess to set proper permissions for .htaccess
