I have a server running Debian 10. I have installed nginx (1.18.0) and php and php-fpm (7.4.28). Following this guide https://landchad.net/index I was able to get html website with certification by certbot running. Then I wanted to use php to have menu on my website dynamic. When I go to the webpage it downloads instead of opening up.
My file tree is as follows: my webpage is stored in /var/www/dragallur, there is a file phpinfo.php with the following code (if I type dragallur.xyz/phpinfo.php it asks me to download the webpage):
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
In the directory /etc/nginx/sites-available there are two files, default and mywebsite, default has following contents:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~ /.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;}}
And the file mywebsite:
server {
server_name dragallur.xyz ;
root /var/www/dragallur ;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html ;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404 ;
#try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~ /.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/dragallur.xyz/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/dragallur.xyz/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot}
server {
if ($host = dragallur.xyz) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name dragallur.xyz ;
return 404; # managed by Certbot}
This issue seems to happen quite often to people. I have tried cleaning my cache, I have done countless changes to the two files above but I still get the same problem. There may be other key config files so just tell me and I will share the contents. After every change which I think might be useful I run the command
systemctl restart nginx
