Works for me I see

Welcome to nginx! xxx

Thanks! I figured it out - it was because I had accidently deleted my default config file! Silly me!

Any ideas how do I point nginx to my public_html folder rather than this static HTML file? I want the domain to point to the Wordpress folder.

I found this one very useful:

change the "root" parameter to the path of your wordpress installation.

It's already pointing there:

location / {

root /srv/www/findmill.co.uk/public_html;

index index.html index.htm;

}

Do I need to delete the index.html file from where this welcome message is coming?

Have you reloaded nginx after every change to config file (nginx and vhosts)?

Read somewhere that you should put root outside of location block. Don't know if it is just best practice.

Yes, I've reloaded and restarted

Have a look at the access and error log for your vhost (wherever you put them) and the access and error log of nginx in /var/log/nginx/ and post any error messages here.

Newbie myself, site went live on my LEMP 2 weeks ago.

Post your nginx configuration.

Here's my findmill.co.uk:

server {

listen 80;

server_name www.findmill.co.uk findmill.co.uk;

access_log /srv/www/findmill.co.uk/logs/access.log;

error_log /srv/www/findmill.co.uk/logs/error.log;

location / {

root /srv/www/findmill.co.uk/public_html;

index index.html index.htm;

}

location ~ .php$ {

include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

fastcgi_index index.php;

fastcgiparam SCRIPTFILENAME /srv/www/findmill.co.uk/publichtml$fastcgiscript_name;

}

}

And here's my nginx.conf: The only change I've made to it is this added this line: include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

user www-data;

worker_processes 4;

pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {

worker_connections 768;

multi_accept on;

}

http {

#

# auth_http localhost/auth.php;

# pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER";

# imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS";

#

server {

listen localhost:110;

protocol pop3;

proxy on;

}

#

server {

listen localhost:143;

protocol imap;

proxy on;

}

}

Move root outside the location block and into the server block just below error_log then restart nginx.

Thanks a lot! That seems to have done the trick! Thanks for your help!
