cd conf.d
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm
sudo touch domain_name.conf
sudo nano domain_name.conf

Then add this script for domain_name.conf [su_spoiler title="domain_name.conf"]

server {
    server_name     $domain_name;
    root            /var/www;
    index           index.html index.php;
    access_log      /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log       /var/log/nginx/error.log;
 
    # Cache static files for as long as possible
    location ~* \.(?:xml|ogg|mp3|mp4|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|ttf|css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico)$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            expires max;
            access_log off;
            add_header Pragma public;
            add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
    }
 
    # if hosting in a sub folder, setup a new location
    # replace `/linus-dash` with the folder name eg. `/folder_name`
    #location /linux-dash {
    #    index index.html index.php;
    #}
 
    # Pass PHP requests on to PHP-FPM using sockets
    location ~ \.php(/|$) {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            # fastcgi_pass   localhost:9000; # using TCP/IP stack
            if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
                    return 404;
            }
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
            include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

To complete the steps you need to restart nginx
