Ngix not picking up the index file.... after upgrade

[Shri @ DevLib.Org]

Might be better for me to paste the config here. I think months of 
modifications might have left it corrupted.

    server {

        listen 80;
        server_name  www.hostname.com hostname.com ;
        root /site/expat/oct08;
        index index.php;

        if ($host !~ ^www\.hostname\.com$) {
                rewrite ^.+ http://www.hostname.com$uri permanent;
                break;
        }

        location / {
                rewrite ^/index.php(.*)$ http://www.hostname.com/ permanent;
                try_files      $uri  @wordpress;
        }

        location ~* \.(css|js|ico|swf|gif)$ {
                access_log      off;
                expires         30d;
        }

        location /classifieds/(.+\.php)(/.+)$ {
                set $script $uri;
                set $path_info "";
                if ($uri ~ "(.+\.php)(/.+)") {
                        set $script $1;
                        set $path_info $2;
                }
                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME 
/site/expat/oct08$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_pass   phpbackend;
                fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO    $path_info;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        location ~ \.php {
                set $script $uri;
                set $path_info "";
                if ($uri ~ "(.+\.php)(/.+)") {
                        set $script $1;
                        set $path_info $2;
                }

                fastcgi_index  index.php;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME 
/site/expat/oct08$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_pass   phpbackend;
                fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO    $path_info;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        location @wordpress {
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /site/expat/oct08/index.php;
                fastcgi_pass   phpbackend;
                include        fastcgi_params;
        }
}
