Wordpress Permalinks

[justin]

Howdy.

So I am trying to get permalinks to work with Wordpress. I have read a
few articles/blog posts but still no luck. The permalink structure I am
trying to use is:

http://mydomain.com/wp/index.php/2012/02/sample-post/

Here is the configuration block that I am currently using that is
important:

# permalinks currently not working with this
location ~ \.php$ {
     include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
     fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
     fastcgi_index index.php;

     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
 
     # tried this as well, but still doesn't work
     #
     #if (!-e $request_filename) {
     #  rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
     #}

     fastcgi_pass php1.local.mydomain.com:9000;
   }
