Hi,
I’m following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04
I encountered a problem at Step 4 and 5. I’ve checked and double-checked but when I try to call the http://server_domain_name_or_IP/info.php in my browser the browser doesn’t show the php info, just offers me to download the info.php file.
What am I doing wrong?

Can you double check /etc/nginx/sites-available/default to make sure the following was entered was entered without any typos?
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_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
Also, you do need to make sure Nginx is restarted for those updates to take effect.
sudo service nginx restart
Happy coding,
