        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

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

    nano /var/www/moodle/config.php
  2. Add the following content: 
    <?php
$CFG->dbtype    = 'mariadb';
$CFG->dblibrary = 'native';
$CFG->dbhost    = 'localhost';
$CFG->dbname    = 'moodle';
$CFG->dbuser    = 'moodleuser';
$CFG->dbpass    = 'Passwrd@12';
$CFG->prefix    = 'mdl_';
$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://192.XXX.X.XXX';
$CFG->dataroot  = '/var/www/moodledata';
$CFG->directorypermissions = 0777;
require_once(__DIR__ . '/lib/setup.php');
  3. Set permissions: 
    chmod -R 777 /var/www/moodledata

Step 8: Complete Moodle Installation

    rc-service php-fpm82 restart
rc-service nginx restart
