Nginx + WP 5.6.1 + PHP 7.4 are working fine in my test on Ubuntu Server 20.04. * Will need your help to test and support it. - This topic was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by [prototype2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prototype2/).

Are they identical to your `test.php`? * You could try copying `phast.php` to `phast2.php`, and seeing if that works. * If it does, rename the old `phast.php` to `phast.php.bak` and then rename `phast2. php` to `phast.php`. Do you get the same 404 or does it work now? * If it still doesn’t work, try deleting the `.htaccess` file in this folder. Although that shouldn’t make a difference since you’re using Caddy. * –Albert * Thread Starter [prototype2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prototype2/) * (@prototype2) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/work-with-caddy-web-server/#post-14084723) * I don’t have .htaccess in any of WordPress subfolders including Phastpress. * 1) test.php Echo Hello string. * 2) Copy `phast.php` and paste as `phast2.php`, rename `phast.php` to `phast.php. bak` and rename phast2.php to `phast.php` Still error 404. * 3) phast3.php and test.php are identical.

I’m surprise you get a 404 error instead of something else. Are there any errors in your server log or wp-content/debug.log (if you have it enabled)? * I’ve tested with Caddy myself and cannot reproduce the issue. But perhaps there is some difference in the setup. Could you share more info about your setup? The best thing would be if you could reproduce the problem using a Dockerfile or docker-compose setup. That would make it easy for me to test. * –Albert * Thread Starter [prototype2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prototype2/) * (@prototype2) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/work-with-caddy-web-server/#post-14087722) * I can reproduce on VPS on Ubuntu Server 20.04. * What PHP extension and other packages are require in your setup? I use the easiest steps and install the minimum PHP packages to get WordPress working and perhaps, might missed out some packages that need for PhastPress to work. * Plugin Author [Albert Peschar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kiboit/) * (@kiboit) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/work-with-caddy-web-server/#post-14095052) * Hi [@prototype2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prototype2/), * No additional PHP extensions are required beyond those used by WordPress. * Can you share the exact steps that you’ve used to set up your VPS?
