Nginx Reverse Proxy returns 404 for PHP

Question

I am running an Nginx server and several services in jails. I have two TLDs, one old and one new. For the new TLD I have added a new jail with a new service (wordpress). I added a new server block to my reverse proxy. Accessed locally, bypassing the reverse proxy, wordpress works fine. All PHP executes correctly.

However, accessed through the reverse proxy, using the new TLD, any attempt to navigate to a .php file returns a 404 error. Note that the site itself is working and php is properly executing; the issue only arises if you try to navigate to a .php directly. This is problematic, for example, because you can't access the login page. In fact, you can't even navigate to index.php, even though going to domain2.com itself works, domain2.com/index.php fails.

These are the server blocks from my nginx.conf:

    #Domain2

   server  {
        server_tokens off;
        listen  80;
        server_name     www.domain2.com domain2.com;
        return 301  https://$host$request_uri;
}

    server {
        server_tokens off;
        listen       443 ssl;
        server_name  www.domain2.com domain2.com;

Answer 1

I fixed this by commenting out the "pass php to fastcgi" which was apparently redundant.
