This time, I've actually tested what I suggest ;-)

try_files takes arguments of uris, which it then looks for as files by
prefixing $document_root.

So you must leave "root" set correctly for nginx if you want nginx to
care about files.

Without try_files in this case, nginx doesn't care about files; with it,
it does.

So: leave "root" alone (as /www/example.com/public), and just set the
correct fastcgi_param values.

Something like:

  include fastcgi.conf;
  fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    /public$fastcgi_script_name;

could be sufficient. You might also want

  fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT    /public;

if your code cares about that variable.

Then "try_files $uri =404" and "fasctcgi_pass ..." work for me.

For information: that's not the debug log.

The debug log shows every uri / filename that try_files tests (among
many other things).

If you still have difficulties, it may be worth enabling the debug log
just to see what it does show.

Good luck with it,
