I'm new to NginX and PHP. I have just completed a basic NginX installation with PHP. When I use a browser to access the server address, 192.168.10.11, I get the correct output from the sample index.php file in the .../public-html folder.

However, I want my web to be on an external drive, so I used this:

sudo rsync -av /var/www/ /mnt/usbdrive/website

Since this was to a fat32 USB memory stick, the rsync threw errors as it could not transfer the file permissions, but the files and content were copied over.

I edited the /sites-available/default file and change the root statement to

root /mnt/usbdrive/website/default/public-html;

Now, when I use the browser to go to that server address, I get this output

no input file specified

If I code a simple index.html file with "hello world", that works. But the index.php file still does not.

What am I missing?

  • This installation is on a Raspberry Pi v3B. The OS in Buster. It was never on a PC...Yes, I restarted the server after the rsync and any changes to the configuration or index files. – RDK Feb 06 '22 at 16:27
