Question Source for server section of NGINX.conf

[Jack Lee]

I'm only asking here, because you guys seem to know everything....not sure if this is a Plesk issue or not.

We run PHP 5.6.30 in production served with nginx through the Plesk Onyx panel. Our test site is PHP 7.0.19. Our website is Wordpress.

I find myself needing to modify the nginx.conf file, basically adding:
location / {
index.php index.html index.htm;

ADD this line: try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

So our wordpress website site works. Without the re-write above, nginx returns "not found" to the browser when wordpress loads a menu choice. So I found the server section in /var/www/vhosts/system/{domain_name}/conf/nginx.conf and added it. This is a temp patch
However, this is a generated file.

#ATTENTION!

#DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY,

But the main nginx.conf in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf has no server section
So I need to change the server section of nginx.conf somewhere. Where is the source file I should be changing? Thanks so much.

You can do it with Changing Virtual Hosts Settings Using Configuration Templates

For vhost's nginx you need to customize /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/nginxDomainVhost.php template.
