</span>What request do you make of nginx?<br>
<br>
Which of your defined location{} blocks does it match:<br>
<br>
location / {<br>
location = /50x.html {<br>
location ~ \.php$ {<br>

<br>
</span>You wrote that it is returning some content, presumably with a http<br>
200. That suggests that it is not failing to do what you told it to do.<br>
<br>
It cannot guess what you want it to do.<br>
<span class="gmail-"><br>

<br>
</span>Try a request that ends with ".php" ?<br>
<br>
Use "curl -v" and copy-paste the output, if it is not what you expect.<br>

<br>
</span>There is the "debug log", which is "extra stuff written to the error log":<br>
