Default Nginx Template

Below is an example of the default Nginx site configuration used by FlashVPS.

server {     listen 80;     listen [::]:80;      server_name www.your-domain.com;      if ($http_x_forwarded_proto = 'https') {         return 301 https://your-domain.com$request_uri;     }      return 301 $scheme://your-domain.com$request_uri; }  server{     listen 80;     listen [::]:80;     server_name your-domain.com;     server_tokens off;     root /home/flashvps/your-domain.com;          # ssl_certificate ###     # ssl_certificate_key ###          # https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/     # Ubuntu 20.04 UP     ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;     ssl_ciphers XXXXXX;     ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off;     ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/dhparams.pem;          add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";     add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";     add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";          index index.html index.htm index.php;          charset utf-8;          # USER CUSTOM CONFIG (CAN MOVE, DO NOT REMOVE!)     location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge {         auth_basic off;         allow all;         alias /home/flashvps/.letsencrypt;     }          location / {         try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;     }          location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }     location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }          access_log off;     error_log  /var/log/nginx/your-domain.com-error.log error;          error_page 404 /index.php;          location ~ \.php$ {         try_files $uri $uri/ =404;         fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;         fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;         fastcgi_index index.php;         include fastcgi_params;     }          # Deny files starting with a .

PHP Version

If your server has multiple versions of PHP installed, you can switch the version your website uses at any time using Site {domain_name}the website's tab in the FlashVPS dashboard.

Switching PHP Versions for Websites

When switching the version your website is using, you should make sure that your server has the full PHP extension/module installed for that version. Failure to install additional modules may make your site unresponsive.

You will also need to update your site's deployment script to reload the correct PHP-FPM version and call the correct PHP version when running any PHP commands. Update the deployment script in the Site's management console.
