Nginx + PHP-FPM serving .php files as downloads

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

It's a matter asked thousand times and since I hate write posts, I read and search for all possible documentation before get to the annoying part (for me) which is writing.

So I have Nginx & PHP-FPM up and running with CentOS 7.2. PHP-FPM is working with /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sockproperly declared in www.conf:

; The address on which to accept FastCGI requests.
; Valid syntaxes are:
;   'ip.add.re.ss:port'    - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific address on
;                            a specific port;
;   'port'                 - to listen on a TCP socket to all addresses on a
;                            specific port;
;   '/path/to/unix/socket' - to listen on a unix socket.
; Note: This value is mandatory.
listen = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock

This is my mywebsite.conf:

server {
    listen   80;
    server_name  www.mywebsite.net;

    # note that these lines are originally from the "location /" block
    root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Also I have cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 in php.ini.

I have restarted/reloaded Nginx and PHP-FPM services, restarted the whole server, and got nothing. I can't display .php files, they're just downloads.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Are there any other server blocks in Nginx configuration, especially with listen 80 default or default_server directives?
Also try to add access_log and error_log to Nginx configuration to find out are there any access to that server and are there any errors.
