Hi @geeber05
Run this command to show the last errors in Nginx:
tail -20 /var/log/nginx/error.log
2017/04/26 13:29:18 [error] 1652#0: *12 directory index of “/var/www/html/” is forbidden, client: 103.41.36.103, server: _, request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, host: “138.197.92.156”
@geeber05
Where is your website files located? Since it is not /var/www/html/
/var/www/html/ in this folder i have wordpress installed. it was working fine before.
@geeber05
Can you post your Nginx server block configuration?
Also make sure you actually have files in that directory ls -l /var/www/html
Where to get Nginx server block configuration .. Please let me know.

@geeber05
Is there only one file? That’s the default configuration, which doesn’t do much. You need to replace that with a configuration, which has php-fpm and some WordPress adjustments.
Have a look in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ - do you also only have one configuration file?
@geeber05 Okay, then you’ve lost your configuration.
Here’s an example configuration that will work for WordPress - restart Nginx after changes
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
server {
listen 80 defaultserver;
listen [::]:80 defaultserver;
# SSL configuration

# listen 443 ssl default_server;
