Hi All,

I have a problem and I am stuck since the last 10days. I have followed every tutorial published on digital ocean and not able to figure out. I am trying to run PHP file on my Nginx web server and since I am not able to execute file instead of its downloading.

My conf file looks like this:

server {

    # SSL configuration
    #
    # listen 443 ssl default_server;
    # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
    #
    # Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
    # See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
    #
    # Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
    # See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782
    #
    # Self-signed certs generated by the SSL-cert package
    # Don't use them in a production server!
    #
    # include snippets/snakeoil.conf;

    root /var/www/joshiviral.com/html;

    # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
    index index.php index.html index.html index.nginx-debian.html;  

    server_name www.joshiviral.com joshiviral.com;

    location / {
        # First attempt to serve request as file, then
        # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }


    }



    # pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

    # With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
    #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
    #   # With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
    #   fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }

    # deny access to .htaccess files if Apache's document root
    # concurs with Nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
    #deny all;
    #}

    #listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
    #listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    #ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/joshiviral.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/joshiviral.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

    server_name www.joshiviral.com joshiviral.com;

root /var/www/joshiviral.com/html;
index index.php index.html index.html index.nginx-debian.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;}

    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.4-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
    }


server {
    if ($host = www.joshiviral.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


    if ($host = joshiviral.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    server_name www.joshiviral.com joshiviral.com;
  return 404; # managed by Certbot

}

I have also uncommented CGI path=‘0’ and also tried clearing my cache but since now not working. Can anyone let me know how I can figure it out? I have also followed tutorials

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/php-files-are-downloading-instead-of-executing-on-nginx

But though not working. There is a weird thing I have installed php7.4.6. And while routing on the 7.4.6 folder, there is an Apache folder. Can anybody let me know how I can solve it?

Thanks in Advance.
