## Common questions

### How can I prevent Nginx container permission errors when my host files are owned by a different user?

If you build the image, set the UID and GID build arguments to the user and group IDs that own your files on the host. This prevents Nginx from running as the wrong user and failing to read or write files.

### Why might a site show the default Nginx welcome page instead of the deployed application?

Seeing the default Welcome to nginx page instead of a website is a common configuration issue. The Nginx site or server configuration is the likely place to check.

### How do I enable the ngx-php embedded PHP module in nginx.conf?

Add load_module modules/ndk_http_module.so and load_module modules/ngx_http_php_module.so at the top of nginx.conf.

### What PHP coding patterns should be avoided when using ngx-php?

Global variables, static variables inside classes, and singleton patterns are unsafe for per-request use. Native IO functions work, but they slow down Nginx.

### How should SSL be handled if Nginx is reverse-proxying local backends?

A common approach is to terminate SSL at the reverse proxy and use plain connections to backend servers when all traffic stays on the LAN.
