my case  I used relative dir         location       css js   php                 root    dolibarr htdocs               fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  document root fastcgi script name               fastcgi param SCRIPT NAME  fastcgi script name              fastcgi index index php                include  etc nginx fastcgi params              this line did not work too   fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  vagrant www p1    p2 htdocs core js lib head js php   So I discovered fastcgi param does not support relative path   This works   fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  vagrant www p2 htdocs core js lib head js php

I had this error as well  In my case it was because there was another virtual host that was pointing to the same root directory

In my case  it was because the permissions on the root web directory were not set correctly  To do this  you need to be in the parent folder when you run this in terminal   sudo chmod -R 755 htmlfoldername   This will chmod all files in your html folder  which is not recommended for production for security reasons  but should let you see the files in that folder  to be sure that isn t the issue while troubleshooting

For me  problem was Typo in location path   Maybe first thing to check out for this kind of problem   Is path to project

The error message    Primary script unknown or in your case is file not found     is almost always related to a wrongly set in line SCRIPT FILENAME in the Nginx fastcgi param directive  Quote from https   serverfault com a 517327 560171    In my case  I use Nginx 1 17 10 and my configuration is       location     php          fastcgi pass unix  var run php php7 2-fpm sock        fastcgi index index php        fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  realpath root fastcgi script name        include fastcgi params        fastcgi read timeout 600          You just change  document root to  realpath root  so whatever your root location  like  var www html project   you don t need write fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  var www html project fastcgi script name  each time your root is changes  This configuration is more flexible  May this helps                                                                                      For more information  if you got unix  run php php7 2-fpm sock failed  13  Permission denied  while connecting to upstream  just change in  etc nginx nginx conf  from user nginx  to user www-data     Because the default user and group of PHP-FPM process is www-data as can be seen in  etc php 7 2 fpm pool d www conf file  Qoute from https   www linuxbabe com ubuntu install-nginx-latest-version-ubuntu-18-04    user   www-data group   www-data   May this information gives a big help

Probably it s too late to answer but a couple things since this is a really annoying error  Following solution worked on Mac OS X Yosemite    It s the best if you have       fastcgi param  SCRIPT FILENAME  document root fastcgi script name     The include with fast cgi params should go above that line  All your directories down to the PHP file you re executing  including that file too  should have a x permissions  e g     sudo chmod a x  Users  sudo chmod a x  Users oleg  sudo chmod a x  Users oleg www  sudo chmod a x  Users oleg www a php

I just spent like 40 minutes trying to debug a non-working  status with     SCRIPT NAME  status SCRIPT FILENAME  status QUERY STRING  REQUEST METHOD GET cgi-fcgi -bind -connect  var run php5-fpm sock   It just produced  File not found  error  while the actual scripts  that are found on the filesystem  worked just fine   Turned out  I had a couple of orphaned processes of php5-fpm  After I killed everything and restarted php5-fpm cleanly  it just went back to normal   Hope this helps

I had the  file not found  problem  so I moved the  root  definition up into the  server  bracket to provide a default value for all the locations  You can always override this by giving any location it s own root   server       root  usr share nginx www      location                  root  usr share nginx www             location     php                try files  uri  404              fastcgi split path info       php                     fastcgi pass 127 0 0 1 9000              fastcgi index index php              include fastcgi params            Alternatively  I could have defined root in both my locations

I had been having the same issues   And during my tests  I have faced both problems   1     File not found   and  2    404 Error page  And I found out that  in my case   I had to mount volumes for my public folders both on the Nginx volumes and the PHP volumes   If it s mounted in Nginx and is not mounted in PHP  it will give   File not found   Examples  Will show  File not found error      services    php-fpm      build        context    docker php-fpm   nginx      build        context    docker nginx     volumes           Nginx Global Configurations       -   docker nginx nginx conf  etc nginx nginx conf       -   docker nginx conf d   etc nginx conf d           Nginx Configurations for you Sites             - Nginx Server block       -   sites example com site conf  etc nginx sites-available example com conf           - Copy Public Folder        -   sites example com root public   var www example com public     ports        -  80 80        -  443 443      depends on        - php-fpm     restart  always    If it s mounted in PHP and is not mounted in Nginx  it will give a 404 Page Not Found error   Example  Will throw 404 Page Not Found Error    version   3   services    php-fpm      build        context    docker php-fpm     volumes        -   sites example com root public   var www example com public   nginx      build        context    docker nginx     volumes           Nginx Global Configurations       -   docker nginx nginx conf  etc nginx nginx conf       -   docker nginx conf d   etc nginx conf d           Nginx Configurations for you Sites             - Nginx Server block       -   sites example com site conf  etc nginx sites-available example com conf     ports        -  80 80        -  443 443      depends on        - php-fpm     restart  always    And this would work just fine  mounting on both sides   Assuming everything else is well configured and you re facing the same problem as me    version   3   services    php-fpm      build        context    docker php-fpm     volumes          Mount PHP for Public Folder       -   sites example com root public   var www example com public   nginx      build        context    docker nginx     volumes           Nginx Global Configurations       -   docker nginx nginx conf  etc nginx nginx conf       -   docker nginx conf d   etc nginx conf d           Nginx Configurations for you Sites             - Nginx Server block       -   sites example com site conf  etc nginx sites-available example com conf           - Copy Public Folder        -   sites example com root public   var www example com public     ports        -  80 80        -  443 443      depends on        - php-fpm     restart  always   Also here s a Full working example project using Nginx Php  for serving multiple sites  https   github com Pablo-Camara simple-multi-site-docker-compose-nginx-alpine-php-fpm-alpine-https-ssl-certificates  I hope this helps someone  And if anyone knows more about this please let me know  Thanks

After upgrading to PHP72  we had an issue where the php-fpm d www conf lost the settings for user group which was causing this error  Be sure to double check those if your setup involves php-fpm

User · Answer

in case it helps someone  my issue seems to be just because I was using a subfolder under my home directory  even though permissions seem correct and I don t have SELinux or anything like that  changing it to be under  var www something something made it work    if I ever found the real cause  and remember this answer  I ll update it
