I'm getting a 500 Internal Server error only on sub directories.
For example, If my website is example.com, example.com/index.php works.
But example.com/phpbb/index.php doesn't work. It just turns up a blank php page. The HTTP header shows HTTP error 500 Internal Server error.
If I enter example.com/phpbb/index.php/somedirectory, the index.php of my root directory shows up.
This is all very strange. I have tried searching etc but nothing worked.
tried re-installing nginx but not fixed.
I'm sure I got the DNS configured right.
