http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php "No input file specified." nginx Windows Server 2012 php 7

Question

I am trying to setup the nginx server at Windows Server 2012. The problem that I am facing: When I try to access or http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php or http://localhost/test.php I receive the message "No input file specified." at nginx Windows Server 2012 php 7. The netstat -abn has the port 9000 open and listening :

• TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING [php-cgi.exe]

• TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
  [nginx.exe]

• TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
  [mysqld.exe]

The nginx folder is C:\nginx and inside there is C:\nginx\html & C:\nginx\html\phpmyadmin and c:\nginx\php\ folders with all necessary files.

nginx.conf:

#user  nobody;

    #    }
    #}

}

Please can anyone help me? What do I need to change to the conf or ini files or what else is wrong with my setup?

Answer 1

You have multiple problems with your configuration.

You have a common document root, so you should place one root directive in the server block which is then inherited by all location blocks.

The "No input file specified" error message means that SCRIPT_FILENAME is missing or wrong.

The location /phpmyadmin block is unnecessary and should be removed.

In summary, try this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  localhost;

    root   /nginx/html;

    location / {
        index  index.php index.html index.htm;     
    }

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;

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

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny  all;
    }
}
