I followed the article “How to Install Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP (LEMP)  
stack  
on CentOS 6”  
([https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-centos-6](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-centos-6))  
and could see the nginx default page displayed. After I worked through  
the  
changes to configs, etc. and tried to display info.php (phpinfo), I get  
the  
message ‘no input file specified’. I get that same thing on another php  
file  
that I loaded to the site in the same directory. However, I can display  
an  
html file from that directory.

Any thoughts as to how to track this down?

Thanks.

I have documented most of the causes of this here:

> **[How to Solve "No input file specified" with PHP and Nginx](https://blog.martinfjordvald.com/no-input-file-specified-with-php-and-nginx/)**

> Solving “No input file specified” or “Primary script unknown” is very easy once you know what the error actually means. This blog posts gives the solution.

Chances are your issue is in there as well.

I was missing an update in the config file, so your guidance helped.  
Thanks.
