if $request_uri [not static file], then ...

[Joe Aston]

Sorry, I did not make myself clear. I already have a fastcgi handler section.

I think the problem is with the regular expression in " if
($request_uri !~* (js|css|images|etc)$) ":

      location / {
         root /var/www/domain.com/public;
         index  index.php;

         #  DO NOT WANT TO USE THIS METHOD (WHICH WORKS):
         #
         #  If the file exists as a static file serve it
         #  directly without running all
         #  the other rewite tests on it
         #
         # if (-f $request_filename) {
         #   break;
         # }
         # if (!-f $request_filename) {
         #   rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
         #   break;
         # }

         #  WANT TO USE THIS METHOD INSTEAD (WHICH ISN'T WORKING):
         #
         # If request doesn't match js / css / images / etc
         # send request to fastcgi handler
         #
          if ($request_uri !~* (js|css|images|etc)$) {
            rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
            break;
          }
      }

      location ~ \.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
         fastcgi_index index.php;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/var/www/domain.com/public$fastcgi_script_name;

         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  PATH_INFO          $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;
      }
