If you want to pass just the index php   no other php file will be passed to fastcgi   to fastcgi in case you have routes like this in a framework like codeigniter    route   download php      controller method     location   index  php            fastcgi pass 127 0 0 1 9000          include fastcgi conf

1 unless file exists will rewrite to index php  Add the following to your location     php   try files    uri  missing    this will first try to serve the file and if it s not found it will move to the  missing part  so also add the following to your config  outside the location block   this will redirect to your index page  location  missing       rewrite    scheme    host index php permanent        2 on the urls you never see the file extension   php   to remove the php extension read the following  http   www nullis net weblog 2011 05 nginx-rewrite-remove-file-extension   and the example configuration from the link   location         set  page to view   index php       try files  uri  uri   rewrites      root    var www site      index  index php index html index htm     location     php        include  etc nginx fastcgi params      fastcgi pass  127 0 0 1 9000      fastcgi index index php      fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  var www site page to view       rewrites location  rewrites       if   uri        a-z                set  page to view    1 php           rewrite     a-z       1 php last

Here is what worked for me to solve part 1 of this question       location                 rewrite                1  permanent              try files  uri  uri   index php  404              include fastcgi params              fastcgi pass php5-fpm-sock              fastcgi index index php              fastcgi param SCRIPT FILENAME  document root fastcgi script name              fastcgi intercept errors on          rewrite                1  permanent  rewrites non-file addresses  addresses without file extensions  to have a     at the end  I did this because I was running into  Access denied   message when I tried to access the folder without it   try files  uri  uri   index php  404  is borrowed from SanjuD s answer  but with an extra 404 reroute if the location still isn t found   fastcgi index index php  was the final piece of the puzzle that I was missing  The folder didn t reroute to the index php without this line
