               location ~ ^(?<script_name>.+\.php)(?<path_info>/|$) {
                       try_files  $script_name  =404;

                       include fastcgi2.conf;
                       fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO  $path_info;
                       fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
               }
