Answer 1

These hints helped me with my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install,

In addition I needed to turn on the short_open_tag in /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

$ sudo kate /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

short_open_tag = On

$ sudo service php5-fpm restart
$ sudo service nginx reload

Answer 2

Make sure you've got this in /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;

Who knows why this isn't there already? The amount of time this must collectively waste!

Answer 3

This is my vhost for UBUNTU 18.04+apache+php7.2

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name test.test;
    root /var/www/html/{DIR_NAME}/public;
    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
    }
location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

The last line makes it different than the other answers.

Answer 4

replace

include fastcgi_params;

with

include fastcgi.conf;

and remove fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME ... in nginx.conf

Answer 5

Also had this issue and finally found the solution here. In short, you need to add the following line to your nginx fastcgi config file (/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params in Ubuntu 12.04)

fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
