== ExpressionEngine ==

[http://expressionengine.com/ ExpressionEngine] is a flexible, feature-rich content management system that empowers thousands of individuals, organizations, and companies around the world to easily manage their website.

This configuration isn't heavily tested, but it seems to work.

<geshi lang="nginx">
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mydomain.com;
root /var/www/EECore1.6.7;

access_log /var/log/nginx/www.mydomain.com-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/www.mydomain.com-error.log info;

location / {
index index.php;
error_page 404 = @ee;
}

location @ee {
rewrite ^(.*) /index.php?$1 last;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8888;
fastcgi_index index.php5;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
</geshi>

== Better Version ==
NOTE: The configuration above generates a lot of 404 errors on the logs. The one below is cleaner, and uses the recommended try_files method:

<geshi lang="nginx">
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mydomain.com;
root /var/www/EECore1.6.7;

access_log /var/log/nginx/www.mydomain.com-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/www.mydomain.com-error.log info;

location / {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ @ee;
}

location @ee {
rewrite ^(.*) /index.php?$1 last;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8888;
fastcgi_index index.php5;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
</geshi>

		+	== Version for index.php/your-path ==
		+
		+	The above code did not work for me, I had to use the following code:
		+	<geshi lang="nginx">
		+
		+	server {
		+	listen 80;
		+	server_name example.com;
		+	root /PATH_TO_ROOT;
		+	index index.php;
		+
		+	location / {
		+	index index.php;
		+	try_files $uri $uri/ @ee;
		+	}
		+
		+	location @ee {
		+	rewrite ^(.*) /index.php$1 last;
		+	}
		+
		+	location ~ \.php$ {
		+	include fastcgi_params;
		+	fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket;
		+	fastcgi_index index.php;
		+	fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
		+	}
		+
		+	# This location is for our EE index.php gateway
		+	location /index.php {
		+	include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
		+	set $script $uri;
		+	set $path_info $uri;
		+	# this will set the path_info when it exists as query string: /index.php?/something/here
		+	if ($args ~* "^(/.+)$") {
		+	set $path_info $1;
		+	}
		+	fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
		+	fastcgi_index index.php;
		+	fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
		+	fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
		+	}
		+	}
		+	</geshi>
		+
		+	The problem was that EE wanted to have the URL like this http://domain.com/index.php/your-path without the question mark. See http://expressionengine.com/archived_forums/viewthread/92987/ for a complete configuration.
