Try this instead:

                location /fg152 {
                         root /home/sites/domain;
                         index index.php;
                         try_files $uri $uri/ /fg152/index.php;
                 }

Remember that the location is appended to the root, so your
configuration would lead to /home/sites/domain/fg152/fg152, which I
don't think is what you intended.
