It turned out that i needed to comment a few lines in the nginx config file in sites-enabled.

server {
        listen   80; 

        root /var/www/;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name example.com; 

        location / {
had to comment :
-> try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
->}
->    location ~ \.php$ {

        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;

         }

         location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }
}
