浏览VPS的IP时不会出现Laravel

Question

I've just installed Laravel 4 with nginx on my ubuntu vps following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-laravel-with-nginx-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-lts-vps

Evertything seemed to be installed fine, however when browsing it's ip adress, I still get:

It works!

This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

I thought this could have something to do with the virtual host, but that one seems to be configured correctlt aswell

server {
    listen   80 default_server;

    root /var/www/laravel/public/;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location / {
         try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri /index.php =404;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Would anynone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

Answer 1

Your web server should point to the /public folder not the root of your laravel application.

That is /var/www/laravel/public not /var/www/laravel/.

Also make sure you restart your server to load up configuration files.
