: NGinx Downloading instead of Serving I have nginx setup on my ubuntu server as the web server with 3 config files (minus the site configs) All of my sites now download a application/octet-stream

I have nginx setup on my ubuntu server as the web server with 3 config files (minus the site configs)

All of my sites now download a application/octet-stream file rather than serving up the pages.

Where am I going wrong, and how can I get it back to serving the pages up?
