Index.php blank page NGINX

Posted on December 18, 2014

My index.php is giving me a blank page, but other .php files works just fine. I’m guessing it’s something in NGINX config?

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

        root /srv/www/XXXX/public_html;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name XXXX;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

        error_page 404 /404.html;
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
                root /srv/www/XXXX/public_html;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }
}

Do you see anything that I’m missing for this occur?

add this to location directive. This will fix the issue. Trust me. Don’t look for any options or google for suggestions. fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

A blank page usually means that a PHP error has occurred. Check nginx’s log file for errors:

sudo tail /var/log/nginx/error.log

Hello,

try to change the location / from:

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}

to

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
