Thanks Edho! That did it. I tried cleaning the cache when I first saw the error, but as I tried different settings I forgot to clean again. Never thought it were that simple :)

have you tried clearing your browser's cache?

Hi Mathias,

Thanks for your answer. That won't do it unfortunately. Also tried moving the "try_files" param out of the "location /" bracket - no luck with that either.

What I did when setting up Nginx was following the instructions in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default config file. So I created my new file containing the above config in "/etc/nginx/sites-available/local" and made a symlink to it in "etc/nginx/sites-enabled".

I then restarted Nginx. I've messed around with the settings in my "local" file and seen PHP stopped working completely, so I know that Nginx actually are loading my config, but just ignore to call my index.php when the URL ends with / or /index.php...

Hi Joakim,

Your issue seems quite simple: You should use "try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php", otherwise the .html version is shown.

Getting rid of "Welcome to nginx"

Hi guys,

I've just setup nginx on my Ubuntu staging machine. Entering http://192.168.1.1/index.php works like a charm and loads the index.php file i've put in the /var/www/public_html folder. http://192.168.1.1 however instead shows the "Welcome to nginx!" page and not my index.php file.

What am I doing wrong? Here's my nginx config:

server {

listen 80 default;
root /var/www/public_html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name _;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
