Edho ..that worked .Thanks

But curious to know whats the difference between

=====
#fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
======

If I had set a

root /home/picdn/public_html/wordpress;

inside the location /wordpress ..it would have worked ?.

Whats the best route to take here as I see many docs doing it differently .

Thanks,
