nginx with php5 -ubuntu

when tried to install nginx with php5 I faced some issues .php files was not able to display using nginx.I got stuck there but sorted it out soon see below,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -u upgrade

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql 

sudo apt-get install nginx

sudo service nginx start

sudo apt-get install php5 php5-fpm

sudo nano /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

Find the line, cgi.fix_pathinfo=1, and change the 1 to 0.  

sudo service php5-fpm restart

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

# You may add here your
# server {
#    ...
# }
# statements for each of your virtual hosts

server {

    listen   80; ## listen for ipv4
    listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    server_name  192.168.0.37;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;

    location / {
        root   /var/www;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

    location /doc {
        root   /usr/share;
        autoindex on;
        allow all;
        deny all;
    }

    location /images {
        root   /usr/share;
        autoindex on;
    }

    #error_page  404  /404.html;

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    #error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    #location = /50x.html {
    #    root   /var/www/nginx-default;
    #}

    # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
    #}

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
    #
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
        #deny  all;
    #}
}


# another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration
#
#server {
#listen   8000;
#listen   somename:8080;
#server_name  somename  alias  another.alias;

#location / {
#root   html;
#index  index.html index.htm;
#}
#}


# HTTPS server
#
#server {
#listen   443;
#server_name  localhost;

#ssl  on;
#ssl_certificate  cert.pem;
#ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;

#ssl_session_timeout  5m;

#ssl_protocols  SSLv3 TLSv1;
#ssl_ciphers  ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv3:+EXP;
#ssl_prefer_server_ciphers   on;

#location / {
#root   html;
#index  index.html index.htm;
#}
#} 

Add index.php to the index line. 

Change the server_name from local host to your domain name or IP address (replace the example.com in the configuration)

Uncomment the correct lines in “location ~ \.php$ {“ section

here you can edit the fast cgi path abd its values and uncomment them to execute the php files then,

sudo nano /usr/share/nginx/www/info.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

sudo service nginx restart
