So, I have a Nginx webserver nginx/1.18.0 on Debian 11.6. I also have php7.4-fpm.
Under /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ I have two configs for two domains: domain1 and domain2. Both should be running Wordpress. First domain is running on HTTPS (and has a redirection from HTTP to HTTPS), the second should (for now) run just on HTTP.
The problem is, that first domain is working fine, however the second domain is not working. I mean, it is serving HTML files just fine, but when I try to access index.php file, it serves this file as a download (instead of executing).
So, some extended explanation of my environment:
First, php7.4-fpm is up and running (I left default settings, and as I said, domain1 is working just fine):

Now config for domain1.conf:
server {

listen 80;
server_name domain1.mk www.domain1.mk;
}
And also config for domain2.conf:
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain2.test www.domain2.test; # for now I have this domain listed in my local /etc/hosts file
root /usr/share/nginx/html/domain2.com;

fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/nginx/html/domain2.com$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
I guess /etc/nginx/nginx.conf could also be of some interest:

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
gzip on;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
Any idea what is wrong, so why Wordpress on domain1 is working just fine, but Wordpress on domain2 is not? (And yes, I restarted nginx server...)
I tried to check config, restarting php7.4-fpm and nginx, checked log files... I have no idea why this is behaving like this. I checked several similar questions and tried to change different parameters in php.ini as suggested, but those suggestions did not work in my case.
