Codeigniter nginx 404 error

Question

I am not sure how many times this question has been answered before, but every answer that I look at gives a different approach to solving this problem of which none of them worked. I am migrating from Apache to Nginx and am facing some serious problems with setting it up. My /etc/nginx/sites-available/default looks like this... ``` server { #listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied #listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6 root /usr/share/nginx/www/flo2go/; index index.php index.html index.htm; if ($request_filename !~ (js|css|images|robots\.txt|index\.php.*) ) { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last; } # Make site accessible from http://localhost/ server_name localhost; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to index.html try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules } location ~ /index.php/ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcg…

Right config for your situation must look simular to this:

```
server {
    server_name yoursitename.com;
    root /usr/share/nginx/www/flo2go/;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }

location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ {
        expires           15d;
    }

location ~ \.php$ {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/share/nginx/www/flo2go/index.php;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI      $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     $query_string;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD   $request_method;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE     $content_type;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH   $content_length;
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
     }
}
```

Main problem with current config is 2 .php `location` blocks and `if` which is evil.
