Okay   I assume you using php7 2  or higher  on Ubuntu 16 or higher   if none of this worked  you must know nginx-fastCGI uses different pid and  sock for different sites hosted on the same server   To troubleshoot  No input file specified  problem  you must tell the nginx yoursite conf file which one of the sock file to use    Uncomment the default fastcgi pass unix  var run php7 2-fpm sock Make sure you have the following directives in place on the conf file   location         try files  uri  uri   index php is args args    location     php            try files  uri  index php  404           fastcgi pass unix  var run php7 2-fpm sock          fastcgi pass unix  var php-nginx 158521651519246 sock socket          fastcgi index index php          fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  document root fastcgi script name          include fastcgi params     have a look at the list of sock and pid files using ls -la  var php-nginx  if you have recently added the file  it should be the last one on the list    3 copy the filename of the  sock file  usually a 15 digit number  and paste it to your location     php directive  fastcgi pass unix  var php-nginx  15digitNumber  sock socket   and restart nginx  Let me know if it worked

My case  SELinux was enabled and denying php-fpm from executing my scripts   Diagnosis  Temporarilly disable SELinux and see if the problem goes away     sudo setenforce permissive     see if PHP scripts work       sudo setenforce enforcing   Solution  Put the PHP directory in the httpd sys content t context   You can use chcon or make the change persistent via semanage     sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd sys content t   srv myapp          sudo restorecon -R -F  srv myapp   You can use the context httpd sys rw content t where write permissions are needed

Resolving  No input file specified  error  If you are using nginx with php-cgi and have followed the standard procedure to set it up  you might often get the    No input file specified    error  This error basically occurs when the php-cgi daemon cannot find a  php file to execute using the SCRIPT FILENAME parameter that was supplied to it  I   ll discuss about the common causes of the error and it   s solutions  Wrong path is sent to the php-cgi daemon  More often than not  a wrong path  SCRIPT FILENAME  is sent to the fastCGI daemon  In many of the cases  this is due to a misconfiguration  Some of the setups I have seen are configured like this    server       listen        80      server name  example com www example com      access log   var www logs example com access log         location             root    var www example com          index  index html index htm index pl             location  images           autoindex on             location     php            fastcgi pass   127 0 0 1 9000          fastcgi index  index php          fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME   var www example com fastcgi script name          include fastcgi params            Now  there are many things wrong with this configuration  An obvious and glaring issue is the root directive in the location   block  When the root is defined inside the location block  it is available defined for that block only  Here  the location  images block will not match for any request because it does not have any  document  root defined and we will have to redundantly define root again for it  Obviously  the root directive should be moved out of the location   block and defined in the server block  This way  the location blocks will inherit the value defined in the parental server block  Of course  if you want to define a different  document root for a location  you can put a root directive in a location block   Another issue is that the value of the fastCGI parameter SCRIPT FILENAME is hard-coded  If we change the value of the root directive and move our files somewhere else in the directory chain  php-cgi will return a    No input file specified    error because will not be able to find the file in the hard-coded location which didn   t change when the  document root was changed  So  we should set SCRIPT FILENAME as below    fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME   document root fastcgi script name    We should keep in mind that the root directive should be in the server block or else  only the  fastcgi script name will get passed as the SCRIPT FILENAME and we will get the    No input file specified    error   source Resolving  No input file specified  error

This is likely because with the trailing slash  NGinx tries to find the default index file which is probably index html without configuration  Without the trailing slash it tries to match the file testservice which he can t find  Either this and or you don t have any default index file in the testservice folder   Try adding this line to your server configuration    index  index php index html index htm     Or in the correct priority order for you   Hope this helps   Edit   My answer is not very clear  see this example to understand what I mean  listen 80       server name glo4000 mydomain com www glo4000 mydomain com        access log   var log nginx glo-4000 access log      error log  var log nginx glo-4000 error log       location             root    home ul glo-4000           index  index php index html index htm             location     php             include fastcgi params          fastcgi pass   unix  tmp php5-fpm sock          fastcgi index  index php          fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME  home ul glo-4000  fastcgi script name

If someone is still having trouble with it     I solved it by correcting it this way   Inside the site conf file  example   etc nginx conf d SITEEXAMPLE conf  I have the following line   fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME   usr share nginx html fastcgi script name    The error occurs because my site is NOT in the   usr share nginx html  folder but in the folder   var www html SITE   So  change that part  leaving the code as below  Note  For those who use the site standard in  var www html YOUR SITE   fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME   var www html YOUR SITE  fastcgi script name
