-      rewrite ^(.*\.htm)$ /builder/parser.php?f=$1;  
-      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  /home/ian/websites/builder/parser.php?f=$fastcgi_script_name;

+      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.9000; 
+      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  /home/ian/websites/builder/parser.php;
+      fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING     f=$uri;
+      fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT    $document_root;
