Can't get nginx to run virtual hosts (403 Forbidden - modified root structure)
Looking for help from someone out there. I've searched through a lot of tutorials, and I feel like I'm close to a solution, but haven't gotten it yet.
I'm running CentOS 7 on a new droplet. I want to run nginx to serve multiple virtual hosts. Here's the list of commands I used to attempt to get nginx running from beginning to end:
sudo yum install nginx -y
sudo nano /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
change apache to nginx in this section: Unix user/group of processes
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
change worker_processes to 4
add this under http: server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/virtual.conf
this configuration is pasted into the blank file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
error_log /home/user/public_html/example.com/error.log;
location / {
root /home/user/public_html/example.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
root /home/user/example.com;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/user/public_html/example.com$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
mkdir -p /home/user/public_html/example.com
chmod -R 755 /home/user/public_html
nano /home/user/public_html/example.com/index.html
paste this code in the file:
<html>
<head>
<title>domain1.com</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>domain1.com</h1>
</body>
</html>
sudo systemctl start nginx && systemctl enable nginx.service
My DNS is pointing to the IP of the server. The issue I'm having is that I continue to get a '403 forbidden error' message when I try to visit the site. After a while the other posts found on Google start to repeat themselves so I'm not getting any new answers that way. Anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working?
