Configure Nginx to load Laravel 5.8 Site in CentOS - linux

Question

I have a Laravel 5.8 project locate at /var/www/html/got/
If I run php artisan serve, it works fine. But I'm trying to deploy my site via nginx instead.
sites-available/default
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
root /var/www/html/got/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri/ $uri /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php?$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
#Prevent version info leakage
fastcgi_hide_header X-Powered-By;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
}
}
nginx.conf

user nginx;
worker_processes auto;

pid /run/nginx.pid;
# Load dynamic modules. See /usr/share/nginx/README.dynamic.
include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;

include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
# Load modular configuration files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory.
# See http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#include

# include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-available/*;
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name _;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# Load configuration files for the default server block.
include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;
location / {
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /40x.html {
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
}
}
I kept getting
What did I do wrong ?

The nginx.conf should be something like this:
user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
events {
worker_connections 768;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {
##
# Basic Settings
##
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
# server_tokens off;
# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
# server_name_in_redirect off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
##
# SSL Settings
##
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
##
# Logging Settings
##
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
##
# Gzip Settings
##
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
# gzip_vary on;
# gzip_proxied any;
# gzip_comp_level 6;
# gzip_buffers 16 8k;
# gzip_http_version 1.1;
# gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
##
# Virtual Host Configs

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
The files from /etc/nginx/sites-available directory should be soft linked to the directory /etc/nginx/sites-enabled, never directly included.
Copy the file /etc/nginx/sites-available/default to reflect the domain, something like /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.conf and then modify the server {} part to reflect the following:
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name .example.com;
root "/var/www/html/got/public";
