That message from the fastcgi server usually means that the
SCRIPT_FILENAME that it was given was not found as a file on its
filesystem.

Your filesystem has:

But your nginx config file has:

>     root /usr/share/nginx/piwik.domain.com;

<snip>

so SCRIPT_FILENAME will be /usr/share/nginx/piwik.domain.com/index.php

Which does not exist, and so is not found.

Set "root" correctly in the nginx config. (Which is more or less the
same as "set the directory name correctly in the filesystem".)
