Try accessing it directly via squidclient to make sure the Squid part is
working:

  squidclient mgr:menu at managerforsquid40a

Above is supposed to be the email address of the admin. Its listed in
error pages for user help, and gets crash reports emailed to it by Squid.

Check that you dont have any other cachemgr_passwd affecting things.
Several passwords can be assigned with different reports named.


Do you also have this?
 http_access allow localhost manager

The username does not matter to the cachemgr its just there for logging
and to allow integration with proxy_auth if you are using that. The
password however must be the one configured in cachemgr_passwd (ie.
managerforsquid40a).

The squidclient test above will confirm or deny that. If squidclient
works then the problem is in how NginX FastCGI is connecting to the proxy.
