How does the error look? Is it Laravel error or generic web server error?
Look into Nginx error logs.

403 Forbidden issues in Laravel EC2 and Lightsail for Laravel, Filament, Nginx on login
I am deploying a Laravel 12 and Filament 4 application to an Nginx server. My issue is that after the full setup of the ubuntu instance and pulling code from GitHub, the application login page, Password Rest and Signup are all accessible, however, the moment I login, I get a 403 Forbidden error.
I am asking for anyone to point me in the right direction on how to fix such an issue. Claude tried but ended up wasting hours with recommendations that are not working.
Thank you.

Since the login and public pages are hitting, Nginx is likely configured correctly. This usually boils down to Filament’s own authorization layer or basic directory permissions on the AWS instance.
please check this one, This is the most common culprit. In production, Filament restricts access by default. Ensure your User model implements the FilamentUser interface and that the canAccessPanel method is actually returning true for your account.
another check in file permission, sudo chown -R www-data:www-data storage bootstrap/cache sudo chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache
