New Self Hosted Install Landing White Page

Followed the rose hosting guide https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-invoice-ninja-on-debian-9/

When I navigate to the server IP I land on a completely white page, with the favicon, inspecting element shows no page data aside from a blank header.

I get the same result when navigating to ip/ninja/public/index.php, and for any other page, including pages that shouldn’t exist.

my nginx conf file looks identical to the one posted, however, I omitted the line “fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;” near the bottom as I was unsure of what it was asking me to change, and it was throwing nginx errors.

I assume the issue is related to me omitting that line, but I am unsure of what that line should look like, please advise.

Thanks.

If you’re using Ubuntu 17.10 you may need to change this line:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; # for Ubuntu 17.04

fastcgi_pass             unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;        # for Ubuntu 17.10
