Drupal Sites Shows content of the Index.php file - php

Question

Im trying to move a drupal site I started on my localhost to a server at home. The database is both exported from my localhost and stored on the server.
The content of the nginx.conf file is as follows
events {
worker_connections 768;
# multi_accept on;
}
http{
server {
listen 443 ssl;
######## S S L CONFIGURATIONS ##################
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/Nov2021/STAR_site.edu.co.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/Nov2021/site.edu.co.key;
access_log /var/log/nginx/KNH_nginx.vhost.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/KNH_nginx.vhost.error.log;
root /var/www/html/arctic_kittiwake;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
###################################################
server_name site.edu.co
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
try_files $uri /index.php?q=$uri$args;
}
location /site/ {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/site/(.*)$ /site/index.php break;
}
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location = /robots.txt {
allow all;
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
}
location ~* /(?:uploads|files)/.*\.php$ {
deny all;
}
}
}
The directory where this file is stored is the /etc/nginx and the drupal site is stored in the /var/www/html/arctic_kittiwake/ directory.
I also have php7.4-fpm and mariadb-10.3 installed.

You are missing connection with php-fpm.
Example:
# In Drupal 8, we must also match new paths where the '.php' appears in
# the middle, such as update.php/selection. The rule we use is strict,
# and only allows this pattern with the update.php front controller.
# This allows legacy path aliases in the form of
# blog/index.php/legacy-path to continue to route to Drupal nodes. If
# you do not have any paths like that, then you might prefer to use a
# laxer rule, such as:
# location ~ \.php(/|$) {
# The laxer rule will continue to work if Drupal uses this new URL
# pattern with front controllers other than update.php in a future
# release.
location ~ '\.php$|^/update.php' {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(|/.*)$;
# Ensure the php file exists. Mitigates CVE-2019-11043
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;
# Security note: If you're running a version of PHP older than the
# latest 5.3, you should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini.
# See http://serverfault.com/q/627903/94922 for details.
include fastcgi_params;
# Block httpoxy attacks. See https://httpoxy.org/.
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
# PHP 5 socket location.
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
# PHP 7 socket location.
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
