I am aware I am posting this again but a boy told me to change the port,  
which I have however it only made loading the php page take longer, but  
it still ends in a resulted broken page.

Here is my default.conf file, if anybody can fix it up so I can get my  
site working.

Your error is not in your Nginx configuration. Are you sure your have  
configured PHP to listen on port 81, though? This seems like an odd port  
to start PHP on. Can you paste your php-fpm configuration?

```
  index index.php;
  location ~ \.php {
        fastcgi-pass 127.0.01:9000;
        fastcgi-param SCRIPT_FILENAME

```

$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi\_params;  
}

But you must match the port (the 9000) with the port you have started  
php-fastcgi on.
