    	  listen 80;
    	  listen [::]:80;
    	  server_name <IP> YOUR SERVER <IP>;
    	  root /usr/share/nginx/html/;
    	  index index.php index.html index.htm ;

    	  location / {
    	    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    	  }

    	  error_page 404 /404.html;
    	  error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

    	  location = /50x.html {
    	    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    	  }

    	  location ~ \.php$ {
    	    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    	    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    	    include fastcgi_params;

systemctl reload nginx

test php

php --version

create test.php file in the web root directory

For your server’s security, you should delete test.php file now.
