Nginx + PHP index.php not found 404

Question

I'm running debian 9 with nginx 12 and php7.1

I've set evrrything up. Nginx does not give me anything in error log, all the PHP scripts are working 100% fine. Nginx indexes index.html as index but DOES NOT find index.php and returns 404, even though I have it set in the nginx config.

Here is my nginx config:

server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; # SSL configuration # # listen 443 ssl default_server; # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; # # Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic. # See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332 # # Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration. # See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782 # # Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package # Don't use them in a production server! # # include snippets/snakeoil.conf; root /var/www/html; # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP index index.php index.html index.htm; server_name _; server_tokens off; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. try_files $uri /index.html index.php; } # pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server # location ~ \.php$ { # With php-fpm (or other unix sockets): try_files $uri =404; include fastcgi.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; } # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root # concurs with nginx's one # #location ~ /\.ht { # deny all; #}} 

Answer 1

All good, figured it out :) This was the mistake I had in my cfg:

 location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. try_files $uri /index.html index.php; }
