404 Not Found

[Macostick]

Good morning all !

I come asking for help because it's been a while that I block on a problem but I have not seen good answers anywhere.


With Debian 10, I installed NGINX 1.19.8

NGINX configuration:

Code Select Expand

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;


    root /var/www/html;

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

    server_name mywebsite.com;

    location / {

        # First attempt to serve request as file, then
        # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

}


When I go on my link I see well: Welcome to nginx!

So I have UNZIP the simple archive machine forum in / var / www / html / but when I want to go to settings.php this shows me: 404 NOT FOUND

Does anyone know where can the problem come from? 

Thank you

well, first of all -- you can not EVER access Settings.php directly

(also Linux is case sensitive settings.php is different from Settings.php)

Is your nginx setup for PHP? Other than f.e. apache, nginx can't handle FCGI itself, so you need something like PHP-FPM:

1). Install support for CGI:

Code Select Expand


apt install install php5-fpm


Edit: I'm not sure if php5 is still the default on D10 (try php7-fpm instead); these instructions are for D8.


2.) Then, nginx needs to use it (so it knows what to do with .php files). Create a file "/etc/nginx/conf.d/global/php.conf" (official docs):

Code Select Expand


location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
                return 404;
        }
        # Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
        fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php5-fpm.sock;

        # include the fastcgi_param setting
        #include fastcgi_params;
        #
        # SCRIPT_FILENAME parameter is used for PHP FPM determining
        # the script name. It is not set in fastcgi_params, but
        # in fastcgi.conf
        include fastcgi.conf;
}


3.) Next, include this file from your vhost file (inside the "server" block):

Code Select Expand


include conf.d/global/*.conf;


4.) Reload nginx to verify everything works:

Code Select Expand


systemctl reload nginx


5.) Replace the "index [...]" line in your vhost (inside the "server" block) with:

Code Select Expand


index index.php;


6.) Reload nginx again to verify everything works:

Code Select Expand


systemctl reload nginx
