Getting 403 when trying to launch a django test site with nginx - django

Question

I have a django site that resides in the following directory: /home/sgoodman/insta
and configured the /etc/nginx/sites-available/insta the following way.
server {
listen 80;
root /home/sgoodman/insta;
index index.html;
server_name 192.168.236.149;
}
Since I am in testing things out phase I set permissions to 777 in both /var/www and /home/sgoodman/insta
I am currently getting a 403 when I try to launch the page. Django automatically uses port 8000 when I do
python manage.py runserver
but when I try to running with
python manage.py runserver 80
it says port already in use. How do I launch a django app with nginx? I was trying to follow this tutorial.
