Nginx PHP configuration

phpdemo.conf

server {
    listen       8090;
    server_name  localhost;
    root /Users/jerryliu/Coding/myapp/phpdemo01;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    autoindex   off;
    
    location / {
     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\. {
     deny all;
    }
}

The location ~ /. directive is very important to include. This prevents Nginx from printing the contents of files like .htaccess and .htpasswd.
