I can’t get my wordpress install live locally, i’m using wordpress, nginx, mySQL, php 7.1, ubuntu 16.04 and below is my nginx file. I just get a download file instead of the website.
server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html/homebuilder;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name wwww.qa.homebuilder.com homebuilder.com;
location / {
# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}

Are you sure you’re using PHP 7.1 and not 7.0 ? The default with Ubuntu 16.04 is 7.0.
Did you mean to have server_name wwww.qa.homebuilder.com homebuilder.com;
instead of server_name homebuilder.com www.homebuilder.com;
?
Try this instead:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html/homebuilder;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name homebuilder.com www.homebuilder.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
}
}
And then run sudo service nginx configtest
to test the configuration and run sudo service nginx restart
to restart Nginx and activate the configuration.
Worked perfectly, Thanks!
