… Then to have nginx proxy over to php, add this to your server block:
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
include fastcgi_params;
}
and you can test by creating a file info.php in server root which contains: <?php phpinfo(); ?>
… Restart nginx and go to http://webserver/info.php and verify it works!
