  server_name localhost;
  root        /var/www;

  location / {
    index     index.html index.htm;
  }
}
  • Restart Nginx
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart 

PHP

$ sudo apt-get install php5-fpm
server {
  listen      80;
  listen      127.0.0.1:80;
  server_name localhost;
  root        /var/www;
  index       index.php index.html index.htm;

    index     index.php index.html index.htm;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;

  listen      127.0.0.1:80;
  server_name localhost;
  root        /var/www;

  location /manager {
    proxy_pass              http://localhost:8080;
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header        Host $http_host;
