How to deploy a PHP project using Nginx?

To deploy a PHP project using Nginx, follow these steps:

1. To install Nginx, you can use package managers like apt or yum, or compile and install the source code downloaded from the official Nginx website.
2. Configure Nginx: Open the Nginx configuration file (usually located in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf) and add the following content:
3. server {
   listen 80;
   server_name your_domain.com;

   root /path/to/your/project;
   index index.php index.html index.htm;

   location / {
   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
   }

   location ~ \.php$ {
   fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; #Modify PHP-FPM location as needed
   fastcgi_index index.php;
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
   include fastcgi_params;
   }
