Nginx and PHP-FPM doesn't work in vhost - nginx

Question

I am trying to move a project to Nginx + PHP-FPM with a virtual host. But when I try to load the website, I receive a file called 'download' with the contents of the index.php.
contents of nginx.conf:
user nginx nginx;
worker_processes 4;
worker_rlimit_nofile 64000;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error_log debug;
events {
worker_connections 16000;
multi_accept on;
use epoll;
}
http {
log_format main
'$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '
'"$gzip_ratio"';
access_log on;
disable_symlinks if_not_owner;
ignore_invalid_headers on;
server_tokens off;
keepalive_timeout 20;
client_header_timeout 20;
client_body_timeout 20;
reset_timedout_connection on;
send_timeout 20;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
charset UTF-8;
gzip on;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript text/x-js image/x-icon image/bmp;
server {
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.socket;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
}
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
contents of the vhost file:
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:80;
server_name yps.dev;
access_log /var/log/nginx/yps.access_log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/yps.error_log debug;
root /home/bobbles/projects/yps_upstream/www/public;
index index.cgi index.htm index.html index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.socket;
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
}
The included fastcgi parameters:
# cat /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
the PHP-FPM pool:
[www]
listen =/run/php-fpm.socket
listen.owner = nginx
listen.mode = 0666
user = nobody
group = nobody
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 50
pm.start_servers = 20
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 35
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/fpm-php.www.log
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
the socket:
# ls -al /run/php-fpm.socket
srw-rw-rw- 1 nginx nginx 0 Oct 12 22:12 /run/php-fpm.socket
In the access logs and the error logs, there is no output except a timeout in the error log:
==> /var/log/nginx/error_log <==
2014/10/12 22:15:39 [info] 3317#0: *19 client closed connection while waiting for request, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 0.0.0.0:80
2014/10/12 22:15:39 [info] 3317#0: *20 client closed connection while waiting for request, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 0.0.0.0:80
The access log is silent.
What am I doing wrong? /var/log/fpm-php.www.log never gets created, so I assume that means that the request is never getting to php-fpm, but then what is wrong with my nginx config?
EDIT:
This is what happens when I try to access a static file from the directory:
==> /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log <==
2014/10/12 21:16:04 [error] 3021#0: *3 openat() "/usr/share/nginx/html/email.html" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET /email.html HTTP/1.1", host: "yps.dev"
==> /var/log/nginx/localhost.access_log <==
127.0.0.1 - - [12/Oct/2014:21:16:04 +0200] "GET /email.html HTTP/1.1" 404 410 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.101 Safari/537.36" "3.10"
==> /var/log/nginx/yps.error_log <==
2014/10/12 21:16:23 [info] 3021#0: *4 client closed connection while waiting for request, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 0.0.0.0:80
apparently the request is simultaneously being passed to the yps virtualhost, and not.

Answer 1

this is an updated version of your vhost file that might work :
server {
listen 80;
server_name yps.dev;
access_log /var/log/nginx/yps.access_log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/yps.error_log debug;
root /home/bobbles/projects/yps_upstream/www/public;
index index.php index.htm index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ #handler;
}
location #handler {
rewrite / /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite / /index.php last; } ## Catch 404s that try_files miss
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.socket;
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
}
}
