Adding PHP to Nginx Virtual Host Configuration. The following codes show how to add PHP to an Nginx Virtual host configuration file.

Edit artofcse.local.conf:

vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/artofcse.local.conf

Add the following code to artofcse.local.conf for PHP:

location ~ \.php$ {

        listen 80 default_server;
        server_name artofcse.local www.artofcse.local;
        index index.html index.htm index.php;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/artofcse.local.access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/artofcse.local.error.log;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

        location /images {
                autoindex on;
                access_log /var/log/nginx/artofcse.local.images.access.log;
                error_log /var/log/nginx/artofcse.local.images.error.log;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        }

        error_page 404 /404.html;
        location = /404.html {
                internal;
        }
