nginx + fossil configuration problem

Hi,

I am new to nginx. My issue is with nginx configuration that should
proxy a connection to a fossil server I am running in the background.
This fossil server is serving a folder of fossils.

I found example configuration on the net and I ended up having this:

   ....
    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name locahost;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
            proxy_redirect off;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
    }
    ....

I started from the original nginx.conf file in /etc/nginx. I am
running nginx in ArchLinux with minimum packages installed (no X). I
am starting nginx with systemd. And for now I am starting fossil
manually: fossil server /path/to/fossils/

>From my host PC I seem to be able to visit my different fossil
projects 192.168.0.101/aaa and 192.168.0.101/bbb.

But this seems to be accidental, because if I move this server block
under the default server blocks it stops working. If I have it above I
cant seems to access the php location block in the default server
block that I added, 192.169.0.101/index.php don't work.

Testing from withing the archlinux running nginx:
localhost/
localhost/index.html
localhost/index.php

All of these works. But localhost/aaa don't work.  If I run the
following it works:

lynx localhost:8080/aaa

It seems I am missing some last touch. I want to be able to do
something like 192.168.0.101/fossil/aaa.

Thank you for any advice!
