My nginx + fastcgi configuration downloads php files instead of executing them -

i'm using configuration on fresh install of php5-fpm , nginx on ubuntu 13.04:

server {     listen 80 default_server;     listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;      root /usr/share/nginx/html;     index index.php index.html index.htm;      server_name localhost;      location / {             try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;     }      location /doc/ {             alias /usr/share/doc/;             autoindex on;             allow 127.0.0.1;             allow ::1;             deny all;     }      error_page 404 /404.html;      location ~ \.php$ {             fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;             # note: should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini              # php5-cgi alone:             fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;             # php5-fpm:             fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;             fastcgi_index index.php;             include fastcgi_params;     } } 

but, web browser seeing php text instead of executed results. should troubleshoot?

your php code being displayed directly because it's not being sent php engine, means location block being matched , php file being served, php file isn't being captured php block, problem in php block.

in block have 2 fastcgi_pass, 1 port (9000) , other unix socket, can't have both together, since you've tagged question fastcgi i'll assume using fastcgi, try commenting line

#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
