Hi All,
It looks like Nginx can’t pass the php file to php-fpm.sock which results in download of php files instead of execution. Please help.
I set cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 inside /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
I set listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock inside /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
My Droplet: Ubuntu 14.04 x64\Laravel 4\nginx\PHP-FPC
All packages seem to be latest - I got everything yesterday via apt-get update/upgrade.
//////////////////Start nginx config /etc/nginx/sites-available/default////////////
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/laravel/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name MY_SERVER_IP_IS_HERE;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;

In my case, I forgot didn’t install PHP yet. Make sure you already installed it by typing php -v. If there is no version information about your PHP, then you should install it with:
sudo apt updatesudo apt install php-fpm
Hey Folks, just ran into this myself working with Wordpress. Try using:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
Referenced it from a working server, then ran a quick search for additional info. Chris_O from StackExchange recommends adding this to your php location block as well if you’re running php-fpm. – If you don’t already have it in your php-fpm.conf.
location ~ \.php {
try_files $uri =404;
Cheers!
Kamal, thank you for your answer. I cleared my cache prior to posting… What solved it, is the REBOOT of the server!
Perhaps, this documentation (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-laravel-with-an-nginx-web-server-on-ubuntu-14-04) can be updated by adding “server reboot” if users can’t see the changes
