what's the simplest way to serve php files through an alias?

[Ilan Berkner]

Thanks,

I tried it using "root" in the location, still no luck.

Here's my config (the parts that matter), the location /nagios/ is what's
not working.  What am I doing wrong? Thanks

http
{
    root /var/www/html;
    server
    {
        listen  10.0.1.163;
        server_name  dev.testsite.com;
        location /nagios/
        {
                root /usr/local/nagios/share;
                index index.php;
        }
        location /
        {
                index  index.php;
                error_page 404 = @joomla;
                log_not_found off;
        }
        location @joomla
        {
                rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
        }

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

    }
}
