Hi
I had a wordpress installed but suddenly today the home page displays 404 nginx error
after I check the error log those display
2020/12/13 19:23:20 [error] 31432#0: *764 open() "/var/www/html/wordpress/404.html" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 45.135.186.94, server: _, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix$:/run/php-fpm/www.sock", host: "MY IP HERE"
it looks like nginx having some problem then looking for my 404 page but what will be the cause of this ?
I visit http://my_ip_here and encounter 404
but if I visit http://my_ip_here/wp-login.php I can see the login page and can login to admin dashboard.
any ideas ? thanks highly appreciated ! (bow)

Hi there @stupidboy,
I can see that your location / directive is emply.
Make sure to specify the following in there:
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
For more information on how to run WordPress with Nginx check out this tutorial here:
