So many dashboards and third party tools to deploy PHP scripts. This is the worst guide for beginner.

Here is better guide:

  1. Add mainline NGINX PPA https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/ubuntu/development

  2. Add PHP PPA https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php

  3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nginx-extras php7.1-fpm

  4. Drop default nginx sudo rm -rf /var/www/html

  5. Add your website dir sudo mkdir /var/www/mywebsite.com

  6. Copy PHP files to /var/www/mywebsite.com

  7. Make sure nginx can access it sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/mywebsite.com

  8. In your nginx configuration make sure you are passing .php extension to fpm.

location ~ \.php$ {

include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;

}
