Answer 3

In case anyone is having this issue but none of the above answers solve their problems, I was having this same issue and had the hardest time tracking it down since my config files were correct, my ngnix and php-fpm jobs were running fine, and there were no errors coming through any error logs.

Dumb mistake but I never checked the Short Open Tag variable in my php.ini file which was set to short_open_tag = Off. Since my php files were using <? instead of <?php, the pages were showing up blank. Short Open Tag should have been set to On in my case.

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 4

If you getting a blank screen, that may be because of 2 reasons:

1. Browser blocking the Frames from being displayed. In some browsers the frames are considered as unsafe. To overcome this you can launch the frameless version of phpPgAdmin by

   http://-your-domain-name-/intro.php

2. You have enabled a security feature in Nginx for X-Frame-Options try disabling it.

Answer 5

This solved my issue:

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    # With php5-fpm:
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

Answer 6

For reference, I am attaching my location block for catching files with the .php extension:

location ~ \.php$ {
    include /path/to/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
}

Double-check the /path/to/fastcgi-params, and make sure that it is present and readable by the nginx user.
