Hi I have the following error in the log *2019/07/11 01:33:38 [error] 31488#31488: 6 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 186.6.129.22, server: 127.0.0.1, request: “GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000”, host: “myexample.com:8081”, referrer: “https://myexample.com:8081/”
When I execute nginx -t show me nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
The configuration that I have is server {
server_name 127.0.0.1;
root /var/www/html/moodle;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string;
}
location /dataroot/ {
internal;
alias /var/moodledata/;
}
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$){
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
Nginx works well for me when in the configuration disable root /var/www/html/moodle; index index.php;
Although what I want is to install moodle 3.6

Hello,
Looking at your config file, it looks like you are trying to use PHP-FPM. First, you need to make sure that PHP-FPM is installed and that you’ve configured it to listen on port 9000.
Here’s how to install and configure PHP-FPM with Nginx:
