Question
Unable to install Wordpress on Ubuntu 15.04
Okay, so the title is a little misleading.
I have fully installed WP on my server, but when I try to connect to it, it just downloads the index.php file, and doesn’t actually run the website. I have ensured that it is executable.
server {
listen 80 default_server; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
#listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
This is the only thing I have changed, the rest is default nginx config.
One thing at a time, I’ll be asking further questions soon.
P.S. there is no errors in the log.

I just got a new server and it is working fine. I wish I could’ve found out what the issue was but I havn’t seen it since.
A 502 on a LEMP setup usually indicates that php5-fpm is not running. Try restarting the php5-fpm service with the command:
It appears you are missing the FastCGI section of the nginx configuration file. Adding this:
and restarting nginx with
