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.
