Why does it download instead of viewing the page?

Question

Debian

I installed the Lemp stack on debian 7, I read somewhere that xginx is better than Apache, so I decided to install it, but there is a problem, it downloads the info.php file instead of viewing it, tell me what's the matter, maybe I configured it wrong somehow?

Answer 1

nginx by itself doesn't work with php. You need to use php-fpm.
Google nginx+php-fpm.
In the simplest case, deliver php-fpm (the package may be called php5-fpm) and add something like this to the nginx config

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

Answer 2

Execution prohibited, see user rights or htaccess
