I made a one_click ubuntu LEMP drop, installed composer, installed larval, created a new larval installation, edited /etc/nginx/sites-available/default server section with:
root /home/myUserName/myAppName/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name myIpAddress;
restarted nginx No errors in any of the above. Point my browser to the ip and I still see the DigitalOcean welcome screen rather than Laravel’s. What am I missing?
I’ve read and followed (I think) all the tutorials I can find – any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Your Nginx server block for a Laravel application should look as follows:
server {
listen 80;
server_name server_domain_or_IP;
root /var/www/travellist/public;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
error_page 404 /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
deny all;
}
}
