Hi

I’m new to nginx. I’m trying to configure a virtual server.

I’ve created a new server file under sites-enabled like this:

server {  
listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied

```
server_name blogtest;

root /usr/share/nginx/cakephptest/app/webroot;
index index.php;

location / {
        # First attempt to serve request as file, then
        # as directory, then fall back to 404
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
# PHP FPM
location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_buffers 8 16k;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED 

```

$document\_root$fastcgi\_path\_info;  
fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME  
$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
}  
}

Is there anything wrong with that?  
When I type in blogtest/index.php on the browser I get the default  
config,  
which points to /usr/share/nginx/www/, even though I deleted the  
symbolic  
link to sites-available/default from sites-enabled.

Note: /usr/share/nginx/cakephptest/app/webroot/index.php does exist.

Could anyone please help.

Thanks

JV

Hi Sajan

Yes I did restart nginx. I’ve tried several times.

Just tried nginx -t and all seems to be fine.

nginx -t  
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok  
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
