With a nested location, or, if all the contents of 
/home/www/content/scripts are PHP scripts, use a fastcgi_pass.

Remember, all requests are handed by one location, and one location 
only. Writing instructions for how to handle PHP scripts in one location 
does not tell nginx how to handle them in other locations.

So:

	location ^~/scripts {
         	alias /home/www/content/scripts;
		fastcigi_pass 127.0.0.1;
		include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
	}


Or, if you have content there other than PHP scripts in the alias location:

	location ^~/scripts {
         	alias /home/www/content/scripts;
		location ~\.php$ {
			fastcigi_pass 127.0.0.1;
			include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
		}
	}
