Hey man, I had to edit the PHP block slightly to run on Digital Ocean using Ubuntu 12.04, PHP 5.3.10. From this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17777774/my-nginx-fastcgi-configuration-downloads-php-files-instead-of-executing-them

# Route PHP requests
location ~ \.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
