Question
403 Forbidden Error executing PHP scripts
Hello,
I have a problem. I’m not sure if this is a server related problem, but I’m sure missing something with the configuration. I receive 403 Forbidden errors for PHP scripts, however regular HTML files works fine. I’m using Nginx server and here is my configuration :
server {
listen 80;
server_name movieslike.co www.movieslike.co;
root /var/www/movieslike.co/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
What am I missing here ? Is this a server related problem or is this something wrong with this config file ?
Thanks,
Oguz
Edit :
I think I figured out the problem. When I go to http://movieslike.co it gives 403. When I go to http://movieslike.co/index.php then it works. Why doesn’t nginx see my index.php file ?
Thanks,

Hi! Are there any errors in nginx’s error log?
Your config looks proper, have you restarted nginx after editing it?
Hello
I restarted it and still the same thing. There is one line I have noticed like this:
I have set the chmod of the directory to 755 though.
It worked !
It turns out I haven’t restarted the nginx server after a few changes.
Thanks all.
