Migrated from lighttpd. Links are downloading instead of loading pages
March 28, 2016 06:15PM
I use to use lighttpd as my webserver. I decided to make the switch to nginx as it has better compatibility support with letsencrypt.
Got my website (wordpress) working along with letsencrypt. However when I click a link the browser tries to download it (tested in Chrome, by the way). Any ideas on how to fix this?

I've included my config files below
/etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress:

[code]
# You may add here your
# server {
# ...
# }
# statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file

##
# You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding
# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.
# http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls
# http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart
# http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration
#
# Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean
# file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.
#
# Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

I'll even go one step farther and shut down lighttpd (I've switched back to it temporarily until I can fix nginx), and start up nginx again for testing purposes. http://joshuacasey.net
