Nginx not excuting php - php

Question

I am using Nginx for a couple of websites. First time user of it and not that happy (Apache will not work in my case). I am trying to use PHP for a new project that requires it. I have PHP 7.3 FPM. To test, phpinfo(); does work however when adding this project (openCAD), index.php seems to be blank.
I tried putting on MyBB to see if that executes and it simply does not, just a blank page.
Here is my nginx config
server {
root /var/www/mywebsite.com/;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name mywebsite.com www.mywebsite.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}

}server {

return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

if ($host = mywebsite.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot

return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.appeal.mywebsite.com) {
return 301 https://mywebsite.com/appeal;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = appeal.mywebsite.com) {
return 301 https://mywebsite.com/appeal;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name www.appeal.mywebsite.com appeal.mywebsite.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.cad.mywebsite.com) {
return 301 https://mywebsite.com/cad;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = cad.mywebsite.com) {
return 301 https://mywebsite.com/cad;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name www.cad.mywebsite.com cad.mywebsite.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
Here is the error log for trying to access MyBB

Based on your error log, mybb is trying to find its files in /var/www/mywebsite.com/php/, but your root is set to /var/www/mywebsite.com/. So it looks like you didn't set it up properly. If you keep your root as is, you need to ensure that mybb's folders like inc, admin, etc. are subdirectories of /var/www/mywebsite.com/.
