Nginx serves .php files as downloads, instead of executing them - zadiejberidmw - 07-26-2023
I am installing a website in a droplet (Digital Ocean). I have an issue for install NGINX with PHP properly. I did a tutorial

but when I try to run some .php files it's just downloading it...for example... `http://5.101.99.123/info.php` it's working but... If I go to the main `http://5.101.99.123` it's downloading my index.php :/
Any idea?

The answer above seemed to comment out too much for the solution I reached. This is what my file looked like:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
location ~ \.php$ {
# fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
#
# # With php5-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

What worked for me with Ubuntu 16.04, and php7 was deleting this line
`fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;`
It stopped downloading php files after that.

If any of the proposed answers is not working, try this:
##1.fix
[To see links please register here]
in etc/php5/fpm/pool.d:`listen = 127.0.0.1:9000;(delete all line contain listen= )`
##2.fix nginx.conf in usr/local/nginx/conf:
`remove server block server{} (if exist) in block html{} because we use server{} in default (config file in etc/nginx/site-available) which was included in nginx.conf.`
## 3. fix default file in etc/nginx/site-available
`location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}`
##4.restart nginx service
>sudo service nginx restart
##5.restart php service
>service php5-fpm restart
##6.enjoy
>Create any php file in /usr/share/nginx/html and run in "server_name/file_name.php"
(server_name depend on your config,normaly is localhost, file_name.php is name of file which created in /usr/share/nginx/html ).
I am using Ubuntu 14.04

I had similar problem which was resolved by **emptying the browser cache** (also worked fine with different browser).

For anyone having same issue with PHP 7, this is what I done to make nginx execute php files properly in CentOS 7, posted here so in case of anyone having same problem:
- Follow step by step this document on [Digital Ocean][1].
- Open the `/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf` (by default I don't have sites-enabled nor sites-available, you can edit accordingly).
- Edit the `location` parameter as below:
*default.conf*:
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
#instruct nginx execute php7 files instead download them :D
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
- Restart Nginx and PHP services `sudo systemctl restart php-fpm` and `sudo systemctl restart nginx`.
- Last but most important, clear browser cache or running in `incognito (Chrome)` or `Private Browsing (Firefox)` etc...
Hope this helpful and happy coding

**Update nginx config /etc/nginx/sites-available/default or your config file**
if you are using php7 use this
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
if you are using php5 use this
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

**Uncomment the \.php location in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default**
> sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:
location ~ \.php$ {

RE: Nginx serves .php files as downloads, instead of executing them - grasps288881 - 07-26-2023
My solution was to add
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
to my custom configuration file, for example `etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.conf`
Adding to `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default` didn't work for me.
RE: Nginx serves .php files as downloads, instead of executing them - lieproofswce - 07-26-2023
I had the same issue and none of the answers solved the problem.
I ran:
sudo nginx -t
to test the config file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.
It gave me these errors:
nginx: [emerg] unexpected end of file, expecting "}" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:115
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
So I went into the config file and on the last line there was
#}
I uncommented, ran the test command again and it worked
