Moodle: Error during Installation

Question

I am trying to install Moodle and everything seems fine but then when it comes to Admin user creation process, it seems as there is no CSS file, and "update profile" button does not perform any action. So I am stuck on page moodle/user/editadvanced.php?id=2

I have also attached the screenshot of the website.

I have already tried every possible way I could such as changing permission to 777, or with root user, Nginx user, and owner of that directory. But it remains the same after every installation.

I have already searched for this problem but couldn't find a solution. I am following a tutorial on HowToForge to install Moodle.

Moodle version tried: 3.5.1 and 3.2.9

Database creation steps:

1. CREATE DATABASE DATABASENAME DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

2. GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES,DROP,INDEX,ALTER ON DATABASENAME.* TO 'DB_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

Mysql Version: 5.5.56-MariaDB MariaDB Server

I personally think its permission issues, for some reason maybe Moodle is not able to access the files or install it. But even though I gave it 777 permission to both moodledata dir and moodle dir.

UPDATE

I see some files are not loaded and missing as shown in the image below.

JavaScript Files Error in Log

PHP File Error in Resources

Answer 1

I replaced the location .php in nginx.conf file and now it works perfectly fine. and now the slash argument works fine.

new location:

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_index            index.php;
    fastcgi_pass             php-fpm; (or 127.0.0.1:9000)
    include                  fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param   PATH_INFO       $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
