Can't open index.php by default with nginx

Question

What's wrong with my server definition? If I try to access to "www.testing.com" I get a binary to download instead of the index.php, instead if I try to access to "testing.com" I get the index.php.

I already tried to set servername to:

servername testing.com; servername testing.com www.testing.com; servername testing.com www.testing.com *.testing.com; 

Same behavior: I can't get index.php with "www.testing.com", just with "testing.com". (off course testing.com is not mine is just for example).

Answer 1

first you need to check your php-fpm settings (maybe you using socket connection instead of port in your php-fpm configuration) and add index by default in your location "/"

location / {     index index.php index.html index.htm;     try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } 

Answer 2

Add fastcgi_index index.php; in location ~* \.php$:

location ~* \.php$ {     try_files $uri =404;     include fastcgi.conf;     fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;     fastcgi_index  index.php; }
