Nginx gives 404 not found

hello everybody. I am totally new to setting up a server with laravel. I have bought a server from digitalocean with lemp and can't get it to work, as I always get a 404 Not found with my laravel project, while the default index.html works fine. I have to note though, that I updated php to 7.1 with those commands https://ayesh.me/Ubuntu-PHP-7.1. Maybe someone can provide a step by step introduction on how to set up a server with digital ocean and laravel 5.5. I would be so grateful after more than 6 hours of frustration.

In the var/log/nginx/error.log file I saw the following error: 2017/10/05 19:37:57 [crit] 32391#32391: *1 connect() to unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: 62.46.56.193, server: localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fas$

My /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/digitalocean file

# You may add here your
# server {
#       ...
# }
# statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file

You should have used Laravel Forge and it is well worth the small monthly fee. Anyway, one your problems is the nginx config is calling for php7.0-fpm.sock and you stated you upgraded to php 7.1. If that is true, you need to use php7.1-fpm.sock.

You should have:

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

location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
