HI , I setting up LEMP on Ubuntu 14.04 by using this tutorial , https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04 I am also hosting 2 domain name on a single droplet . I have successfully setup Nginx virtual host . Any idea why does info.php download rather than opening. Can you guys guide me on how to troubleshoot the issue .

Hi Joss!

Could you post your Nginx configuration? The location block should look something like: 


    location ~ \.php$ {

        try_files $uri =404;

        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

        fastcgi_index index.php;

        include fastcgi_params;

    }

HI Andrew ,
please see below my Ngix configuration .

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
#
try_files $uri =404;
# # With php5-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# # With php5-fpm:
# fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
# fastcgi_index index.php;
# include fastcgi_params;

is it correct ? looks the same to me , I am not sure . What do you think Andrew.

You need to uncomment the lines, as in delete the # at the beginning of each line. So it should look like this: 
#pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000



location ~ \.php$ {

       fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

       # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini



       try_files $uri =404;

       # With php5-cgi alone:

       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

       # With php5-fpm:

       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

       fastcgi_index index.php;

       include fastcgi_params;

}

    This is not correct:

    location ~ \.php$ {
       # With php5-cgi alone:
       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
       # With php5-fpm:
       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}

    Either cgi or fpm, not both of them

    Correct would be:

    location ~ \.php$ {
       # With php5-cgi alone:
       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
       # With php5-fpm:
       #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}

    OR

    location ~ \.php$ {
       # With php5-cgi alone:
       #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
       # With php5-fpm:
       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
