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"
/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
server {
listen 80 defaultserver;
listen [::]:80 defaultserver;
# SSL configuration
#
# listen 443 ssl default_server;
# listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
#
# Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package
# Don't use them in a production server!
# include snippets/snakeoil.conf;
#
# ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # don’t use SSLv3 ref: POODLE
# ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
# ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
root /var/www/html;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
#location ~ \.php$ {

#
# # With php5-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# # With php5-fpm:
# fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
#}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
Virtual Host configuration for example.com You can move that to a different file under sites-available/ and symlink that to sites-enabled/ to enable it. server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name example.com; root /var/www/example.com; index index.html; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }@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;
}
}
You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx. http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled. Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples. Default server configuration
