            listen 80;
            root /var/www/html;
            index index.php index.html index.htm;
            server_name example.com;
     
            location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
            }
     
            location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
            }
    }

    Save your changes to the configuration file and create a link to site enabled directory.

    sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com 
    

    Then restart Nginx service to reload the changes.

    sudo systemctl restart nginx
    

    Step 4 – Testing the Setup

    Your server setup is completed now. Let’s create a PHP script with phpinfo() function and place it to your server document root. Use below command to create php script:

    echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/html/info.php
    

    Then access info.php viausing server IP address (for default VirtualHost) or configured domain in Nginx VirtualHost.
