-     fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
-         /var/www/example.com/public/index.php$fastcgi_script_name;
+     fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
+         /var/www/example.com/public/index.php;
+     fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING        $fastcgi_script_name;

Also you should "include  fastcgi_params0;" where fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING
has been removed.
