Well you didn’t give us anything to work one. First of does that file exist in the same directoy where test.php is. Can you provide your ngnix.conf, maybe you have some redirects for eather php files, or for css files. Are permissions ok? Maybe Nginx cannot read that file? It could be many things, but you need to give us more information, if you would like to get some help.

kustodian, Thank You for your fast reply, i have resolved this by editing one of my ‘location’ in my nginx.conf file: … location / { root /var/www/html; index index.php index.html index.htm; fastcgi\_param REDIRECT\_STATUS 200; } … Previously this was ‘/usr/share/nginx/html’, but it was ‘var/www/html’ in all other 'location’s.

I recently encountered an issue with a 1.5.7 branch on OSX. i did not check 1.5.8 The following code will set ALL css/js files as the default\_type ``` include /usr/local/nginx/conf/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; ``` The following code works as intended ``` default_type application/octet-stream; include /usr/local/nginx/conf/mime.types; ``` I haven’t had time to test on other versions. This could be the intended behavior, but the docs don’t suggest that. usually a default\_type only applies when the real type can’t be found. ---

Most likely there is a directive with some non-strict syntax (like “index”) before they configuration you’ve quoted, and there is no semicolon after it. E.g., something like this: ``` index index.html include /usr/local/nginx/conf/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; ``` While the configuration looks like correct one with mime.types included, it’s instead defines 3 index files (“index.html”, “include”, “/usr/local/nginx/conf/mime.types”), and default\_type - but mime.types isn’t included. – Maxim D.
