No need for extra blocks and named locations and everything. Also move the index
line outside the location block
server {
index index.html index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html $uri.php$is_args$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
# add fastcgi_pass line here, depending if you use socket or port
}
}
Keep in mind that if you have a folder and a file with the same name inside the same folder, like /folder/xyz/
and /folder/xyz.php
you won’t be able to run the php file if the folder xyz
contains an index.php
or index.html
, just keep this in mind.
