Question
PHP execution on nginx - files being downloaded instead
Hi,
I am attempting to execute PHP pages within my Nginx root directory, however despite many attempts to fix the issue they continue to be downloaded instead of executing. My nginx/sites-available/default file is:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
# Serve up static content directly via nginx
# Note: /var/www is a symlink to ~/qewd/www
location / {
root /var/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ @qewd;
expires max;
access_log off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ ;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
access_log /var/www/php-access.log;
}
No events are written to the php-access.log and on each occasion I attempt to access a php page in the root directory it is downloaded still. Nginx is correctly routing php to the location block as I have successfully tested 404 messages within the location block. The php7.2-fpm.sock file is within /var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock and the php7.2-fpm service is active.
I have tried changing the nginx.conf file for default_type from application/octet-stream to text/html and text/plain but this does not seem to have made a difference also
It seems as though nginx is not passing the php page to fpm but I’m not sure as to why or if I have missed something silly. My nginx user is www-data, which is also the owner of my php7.2-fpm.sock file.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
