To help troubleshoot, I’d need to see what your NGINX server block looks like. If you can post that in a code box (three backticks, hit enter to go to a new line, paste the block, hit enter again, and close the block with three more backticks), I’ll be more than happy to take a look at it for you.
The most basic of server blocks is going to look something like this (to give you a very basic example). This is actually part of one that I use (without SSL, or WordPress specific caching, rewrites, etc).
This file should be in:
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled
server {
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
#+ Defines the port that NGINX will listen on. By setting this to Port 80,
#+ we're telling NGINX to listen in for standard HTTP connections.
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
listen 80;
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
#+ This is where we define your domain. For a standard WordPress install,
#+ the following is ideal. For multisite, this may or may not work -- it
#+ depends on whether you're wanting to use the sub-domain setup or the
#+ directory setup. For sub-domain, we'd replace www.domain.com with a
#+ WildCard entry -- *.domain.com
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
#+ Here we're defining the root path for our domain. This is where NGINX
#+ will look for our files (i.e. index.html, index.php, etc).
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
root /path/to/home/public_html;
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
#+ Location blocks define what happens when a request is made to specific
#+ locations. This one handles the main entry point for your domain, /.
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
#+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
#+ This is where we'll handle PHP requests using PHP-FPM.
#+
#+ fastcgi_split_path_info handles PATH_INFO
#+ fastcgi_pass tells NGINX how to connect to PHP-FPM **
#+ fastcgi_index defines the index file for PHP-FPM
#+
#+ The rest of the lines handle various configuration for PHP-FPM.
#+
#+ ** This block is connecting over a TCP connection. The default setup
#+ for PHP-FPM is to connect via sockets. It all depends on how you've
#+ setup PHP-FPM and what is defined in each of the ./pool.d/ files.
#+
#+ The ./pool.d/ directory can be found (on most installations) at:
#+ /etc/php/PHP_VERS/fpm/pool.d
#+
#+ Where PHP_VERS is your PHP version (i.e. 5.6, 7.0, 7.1)
