Need Help Configuring Nginx to run Wordpress

[mike]

1) stop using spawn-fcgi. it sucks. use php-fpm. that's not the fix to
your issue, but it is something i recommend. :)

here is my (working) nginx conf for wordpress (with friendly URLs enabled)

the actual wordpress install is hosted in /wordpress, but the urls are
all /2008/etc/ and such off the root.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name michaelshadle.com www.michaelshadle.com;
    index index.php;
    root /home/mike/web/michaelshadle.com/;
    location ~ .php$ {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:11000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
    }
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^(.+)$ /wordpress/index.php?q=$1 last;
    }
}

fastcgi.conf:

fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;

fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;
