Attempt to rewrite using slightly deprecated /foo.php/bar/ methods

[Michael Shadle]

Okay I'm trying to request

http://dev.foo.com/login for example, I get this:

2009/10/26 21:29:04 [error] 22831#0: *1 open()
"/home/mike/web/foo.com/loader.php/login" failed (20: Not a
directory), client: 192.168.1.2, server: dev.foo.com, request: "GET
/login HTTP/1.1", host: "dev.foo.com"

Here's the server block... I tried following your instructions.

   server {
      listen 80;
      server_name dev.foo.com;
      root /home/mike/web/foo.com;
      index index.php index.html;
      location ~ \.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:11000;
      }
      location / {
         try_files $uri $uri/ /loader.php$uri;
      }
      location /loader.php {
         fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/loader\.php)(.*)$;
      }
   }
