Php downloading instead of executing | Error 405

Question

Hello.

I host a small local website on Vultr with Webinoly with a simple html/php contact form.

The contact form I'm talking about is this : https://tours.homecomingbnb.gr/index.html#Booknow

When I submit the contact form I get 405 error, which cause by php not executing and downloading the file instead.

Try to access the contact form PHP file directly and you will see the issue:

https://tours.homecomingbnb.gr/php/contact-form.php

* The request should read the file and not download.

What should I do to make the php not download and read the file instead?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please, check this file: /etc/nginx/sites-available/tours.homecomingbnb.gr and send me the content. Also, check permissions and owner in all your site files/folders.

Hello @QROkes.

Sorry for the late response.

Here is the file you asked me to share :

# WebinolySSLredirectStart - HTTP to HTTPS Redirect
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name tours.homecomingbnb.gr;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
# WebinolySSLredirectEnd
# WebinolyNginxServerStart
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

    server_name tours.homecomingbnb.gr;

    # WebinolySSLstart
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/tours.homecomingbnb.gr/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/tours.homecomingbnb.gr/privkey.pem;
    ssl_stapling on;
    ssl_stapling_verify on;
    ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/tours.homecomingbnb.gr/chain.pem;
    # WebinolySSLend
    access_log /var/log/nginx/tours.homecomingbnb.gr.access.log we_log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/tours.homecomingbnb.gr.error.log;

    root /var/www/tours.homecomingbnb.gr/htdocs;
       
    index  index.html index.htm;
    location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }
       
    include common/locations.conf;
    include common/headers-http.conf;
    include common/headers-https.conf;
    include common/headers-html.conf;
    include /var/www/tours.homecomingbnb.gr/*-nginx.conf;
}
# WebinolyNginxServerEnd

Where should I check the permissions exactly?

You have created an HTML site, that's why you can't execute PHP.

Please, read the documentation!
