PHP not running on nginx with Debian 8 - php

Question

I just configured my Debian 8 server with nginx. I can browse html files. I use let's encrypt which works succesfully, also with redirecting http to https automatically.
What does not work is PHP. Also a simple info.php file with
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
does not work.
On browser client my error message is:
404 Not Found nginx/1.6.2
Nginx' error log shows this:
2018/05/29 19:22:57 [error] 1879#0: *1592 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/info.php" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: ip_address, server: , request: "GET /info.php HTTP/1.1", host: "domain"
My nginx configuration is:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
# SSL configuration
server_name my-server.de www.my-server.de;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ /.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
include snippets/ssl-my-server.de.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
}
Even if i move info.php to /usr/share/nginx/html then the client browser just downloads the info.php file.
I went through all steps in this guide. But still it isn't working. So how to fix that?

Answer 1

You have not added in SSL listen port 443, and ssl config of let's encrypt, please comment 301 redirect, test PHP, than go for SSL configuration see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-debian-8
I have seen you have added SSL configuration, you need fix as below nginx configuration, after redirect, PHP should be configured on 443 not on 80.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name my-server.de www.my-server.de;
# Redirect to HTTPS
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
include snippets/ssl-my-server.de.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ /.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}

Answer 2

This is what I'm using:
upstream php {
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
server unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock down;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
root /var/www/html/;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass php;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
