Your configuration suffers from a lot of mod_rewrite influenced
thinking. As Igor calls it, it's a Yoda style of configuration.


This makes no sense. You're doing a capture that you don't use and
you seem to be rewriting to the same URI.

 location = /maintenance.html { }

 location / {
   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
 }

 location /administrator/ {
   rewrite ^ https://www.domain.com$request_uri? permanent;
 }

 location ~* com_login {
   rewrite ^ https://www.domain.com$request_uri? permanent 

 }

 location /en/ {

   location /en/administrator {
     rewrite ^ https://www.domain.com$request_uri? permanent;
   }

   location /en/(.*)$ {
     index index.php;
     try_files $uri $uri/ /en/index.php?$1; 
   }
 }

Instead of this insecure config, if the handler script is index.php do:

 location = /index.php {
   fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;                 
   fastcgi_index index.php;                     
   fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;  
   include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
 }
