I just've downloaded nginx 1.4 and right away I see the "Welcome to nginx!" message, then I've installed php5-fpm from the repositories so I create a php file at
/usr/share/nginx/html/demo.php just with <?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
inside.
(I'm trying under ElementaryOS Ubuntu 12.04 based) and followed this manual: http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample
Then when I visit http://localhost/demo.php
it doesn't work, I give a 404 error. This is my /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log /var/log/nginx/log/host.access.log main;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# root html;
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# fastcgi_index index.php;
# fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
# include fastcgi_params;
#}
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
I thought that was a permissions issue, so I just change the user nginx to user www-data wich is the same user that fpm use (according to the conf file). Then I applied chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/nginx/html/
but I have same error.
I was looking for simmilar problems, I read that:
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
They need to be at server level (not local /), if I do that I get a blank page, but nothing else. Analyzing the headers I get an 200 Ok response.
If I use the default php snnipet instead of the one in the manuals:
location ~ \.php$ {
root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
I give a 404 error but only in a blank page and the message "File not found." this rendered page is different from the one that I get earlier. I think this one comes from fpm and the other from nginx (Of course.. I'm not sure).
At the last I did chmod 777 /usr/share/nginx/html/demo.php
and now it downloads the script, downloads the file demo.php to my pc.
So I want to know, how I can execute a PHP script with nginx + php5-fpm. I don't mind removing and purge the nginx, the fpm or the php packages, I just want to execute a php script in the webserver.
Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
