Question

Parse HTML as PHP w/ LEMP stack

Posted April 6, 2021 123 views
NginxPHPLEMP

I installed the LEMP package from the marketplace, and I’d like to host a website that relies on having HTML files parsed as PHP. I can find instrucions for doing this with Apache, but not nginx. Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just start over with a LAMP installation?

Hi there,

Yes, this is also doable with Nginx as well as Apache.

You need to duplicate the .php location rule and add one for .htm$.

So the configuration will look like this, depending on yuor PHP configuration:

    location ~ \.htm$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

Hope that this helps.
Regards,
Bobby

    Hi Bobby,

    Thanks, that looks like it’s on the right track, but unfortunately I couldn’t quite get that to work for some reason. I fiddled around with different permutations for quite some time, and eventually decided I’d be more comfortable with a LAMP configuration that I’m more familiar with. I seem to have gotten that working, so I will abandon LEMP for the time being, although I will probably be back at some point for another project.

    Thanks,
    Robb
