Unable to execute PHP file.

Below is my default.conf file.

# 

# The default server

# 

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name localhost;

```
#charset koi8-r;

#access_log logs/host.access.log main;

location / {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html index.php index.htm;
}

error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /404.html {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}

# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on

```

127.0.0.1:9000  
#  
location ~ .php$ {  
root html;  
fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;  
fastcgi\_index index.php;  
fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME  
/usr/share/nginx/html$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
include fastcgi\_params;  
}

```
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
    #deny all;
#}

```
