- 		location ~ ^(.+\.php)(.*)$ {
+ 		location ~ ^(.+\.php|/)$ {

If you want also to support PATH_INFO after PHP script, then you need
to split PATH_INFO:

    location ~ ^(.+\.php.*|/)$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info         ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $fastcgi_path_info;
        ...
