I can’t seem to get php working with nginx…

I’ve used the LEMP 1 click deploy and tried doing it on my own, and tried following countless tutorials out there.

Here is my config for this vhost

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name SERVER.COM;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

    location /.well-known {
        alias /var/www/DIR/.well-known;
    }
}

server {
  listen 443;
  server_name SERVER.COM;
  ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/SERVER.COM/fullchain.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/SERVER.COM/privkey.pem;
  add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains";
  ssl on;
  ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
  ssl_ciphers "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4";
  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
  ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

  location / {
    root /var/www/SERVER.COM/;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        }

        location ~ /\.ht {
          deny all;
        }

        location /monit/ {
        rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
        proxy_pass   http://localhost:2812;
        }
}

All I am trying to do is to get a simple phpinfo to run.
I see the request served in the access logs, nothing in the error logs

Unless you have a specific need, you shouldn’t be clustering the location blocks are you currently are. You need to separate / from others.

So you’re location blocks should look like this:

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

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
}

location /monit/ {
    rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:2812;
}

Though I would organize the configuration a little more, which I’ve done for you below.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name SERVER.COM;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

    location /.well-known {
        alias /var/www/DIR/.well-known;
    }
}

server {
    listen 443;
    server_name SERVER.COM;
    root /var/www/SERVER.COM/;

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains";

    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/SERVER.COM/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/SERVER.COM/privkey.pem;
    ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
    ssl_ciphers "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4";
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

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

    location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

    location /monit/ {
        rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:2812;
    }
}

After changing the configuration, you’ll need to reload or restart NGINX.

    So.. nginx cares about white space… This is a new tidbit of knowledge.

    smh, and thanks!! I was about to give up and do something in node instead of php
