This is nginx.

One request is handled in one location.

Look at all of the (top-level) "location" directives. Look at the request
that you are making. See which one location will handle it. Be aware of
any rewrites or internal redirects that might happen.

In the one location that handles the final request, put all of the
configuration that you want for that request.

http://nginx.org/r/location for details.

So, you have:

> location ~ /\. {
> #        location ~* \.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$ {
> location = /favicon.ico {
> location /image {

> location /tiny {
> location /picturetrailers {
> location /flytrailer {
> location /fullexamplecompany {
> location /async {
> location /demo {
> location ~* \.php$ {

What one request do you make that does not return what you want? What
does it return instead?

Testing using "curl -i" is probably best, since you will see exactly what
is returned. Enable the debug log and you might see why that is returned.
