you don't need that

>        #Proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:8080
>        location ~ \.php$ {
>                        proxy_set_header Host $host;
>                        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
>                        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
>                        proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1:8080;
>        }
>        }

If you are proxy to apache, you don't need rewrite in nginx but only
rules in .htaccess for apache. set up nginx for static content only.
