Yes, that's how it is frequently configured by default.

You'll want to configure it to match your application.

That location matches urls that end in "php". Your url is
/folder_name/index.php/css/first.css, which doesn't end in php,
so you'll want to use some location setting that matches that url --
perhaps "starts with /folder_name/index.php/" will be best.

For testing, you could use "includes php", which would be

  location ~ php {}

but that is unlikely to be good for the live site.

Once you have the location definition correct, you'll want to use
fastcgi_split_path_info

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFcgiModule#fastcgi_split_path_info

and then you'll probably want to set PATH_INFO or REQUEST_URI or whatever
your application requires, like in the example there.

Hopefully the above makes sense.

Either change your current "php" location to match all urls you want
handled by php; or make a new one that matches this location.

And use fastcgi_split_path_info.

And the debug log can be very useful if you get lost.

Good luck,
