     root    /var/www;

     fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
     include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

     location / {
         index  index.php;
     }

     location = /500.html { }

     location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ {
         expires     30d;
     }

     location ~ ^/rtorrent/.+\.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
         auth_basic            "Restricted";
         auth_basic_user_file  /usr/local/nginx/htpasswd;
     }

     location ~ ^/rtorrent {
         auth_basic            "Restricted";
         auth_basic_user_file  /usr/local/nginx/htpasswd;
     }

     location ~ \.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
     }
