I’m sure this is kind of a duplicate question, but I’ve tried googling this to no avail. I’m trying to make a site that will just run a php script on a button press. I’m trying to get php to work right, so I have an info.php file here:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Now, whenever I try to go to this file in my webpage: jarofmilk.com/info.php it just tries to download it instead of render it. I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun to fix this, but I have no clue whats going wrong with it.
Here’s my default nginx conf:
server {
listen 8000 default_server;
listen [::]:8000 default_server;
server_name jarofmilk.com www.jarofmilk.com;
root /var/www/jarofmilk.com/public_html;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
# With php5-cgi alone:
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
#fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
#fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
PHP Version:
php --version
PHP 7.0.33-0ubuntu0.16.04.16 (cli) ( NTS )
Nginx Version:
$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)
Ubuntu Version:
Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
I appreciate any insight. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled php. I’m sure this is a repeat question, but I’ve looked over most of the other stackoverflow results, and nothing worked for me.

Hi there,
The configuration looks good actually. I could suggest a couple of things:
- Make sure that the PHP-FPM service is up and running:
systemctl status php7.0-fpm.service
- Make sure that the
listenaddress is set to the socket file that you’ve specified in your Nginx config. You can do that by viewing the following file:
/etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
And search for the following line
listen = /run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock
If those things are all good, I would recommend clearing your browser’s cache and also checking your Nginx error log:
tail -100 /var/log/nginx/error.log
Regards, Bobby
Because your php configuration should be inside your main site’s server block, not in the default server block.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;

index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
