I’ve been scouring through all the nginx, Wordpress, PHP threads but I can’t seem to get what I need. I have a Ghost blog installed (working fine) and am trying to add a Wordpress along side it. The Wordpress block looks like:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name wpdomain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
I’ve tried the alternative:
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
with the appropriate listen adjustment to no avail.
The status looks fine:
php7.2-fpm.service - The PHP 7.2 FastCGI Process Manager
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/php7.2-fpm.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2018-02-22 00:22:56 UTC; 6min ago
Docs: man:php-fpm7.2(8)
Main PID: 22063 (php-fpm7.2)
Status: "Processes active: 0, idle: 2, Requests: 6, slow: 0, Traffic: 0req/sec"
Tasks: 3
Memory: 11.4M
CPU: 68ms
CGroup: /system.slice/php7.2-fpm.service
├─22063 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php/7.2/fpm/php-fpm.conf)
├─22066 php-fpm: pool www
└─22067 php-fpm: pool www
and I can access the non-php files just fine, but I can’t setup Wordpress until I can actually access the PHP. I’m not seeing errors in /var/log/nginx/error.log either, I’m not sure what else to check at this point…

server {
listen 80;
# listen [::]:80; ## only need this directive if you are using ipv6
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name wpdomain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html /index.php$args; #removed unneeded args
}
# remove these for now until WP is up and running
# error_page 404 /404.html;
# error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
# location = /50x.html {
# root /usr/share/nginx/html;
#}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
ensure the WP directory has the right permissions:
find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
