I'm sorry for being cryptic but this problem has me puzzled for two days.

Let me tell the long story.
I'm trying to setup a web server using nginx in ubuntu 12.04.2 (precise)
Like any good sysadmin, I use bash script to setup everything.
So I could replay it anytime.

So on the friday I rerun the script (to enhanced it) and it didn't work like
it used to.
I swear, I got nginx working perfectly before with PATH_INFO and all.

To answer your question. The PATH_INFO should output to '/foo/bar.php'

Per your request here's my modified config
------------------------------------------------------------
        location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
                fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
                fastcgi_param TEST_PATH_INFO    $fastcgi_path_info;
                try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;

                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }
------------------------------------------------------------

And the result with cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 (the default)
------------------------------------------------------------
array (
  'USER' => 'www-data',
  'HOME' => '/var/www',
  'FCGI_ROLE' => 'RESPONDER',
  'PATH_INFO' => '',
  'TEST_PATH_INFO' => '',
  'QUERY_STRING' => '',
  'REQUEST_METHOD' => 'GET',
  'CONTENT_TYPE' => '',
  'CONTENT_LENGTH' => '',
  'SCRIPT_FILENAME' => '/var/www/test.php',
  'SCRIPT_NAME' => '/test.php',
  'REQUEST_URI' => '/test.php/foo/bar.php',
  'DOCUMENT_URI' => '/test.php',
  'DOCUMENT_ROOT' => '/var/www',
  'SERVER_PROTOCOL' => 'HTTP/1.1',
  'GATEWAY_INTERFACE' => 'CGI/1.1',
  'SERVER_SOFTWARE' => 'nginx/1.4.0',
  'REMOTE_ADDR' => '192.168.56.1',
  'REMOTE_PORT' => '33683',
  'SERVER_ADDR' => '192.168.56.3',
  'SERVER_PORT' => '80',
  'SERVER_NAME' => '',
  'HTTPS' => '',
  'REDIRECT_STATUS' => '200',
  'HTTP_HOST' => 'lemp.test',
  'HTTP_USER_AGENT' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0',
  'HTTP_ACCEPT' =>
'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
  'HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE' => 'en-US,en;q=0.5',
  'HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING' => 'gzip, deflate',
  'HTTP_CONNECTION' => 'keep-alive',
  'HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL' => 'max-age=0',
  'PHP_SELF' => '/test.php',
  'REQUEST_TIME' => 1367710298,
)
------------------------------------------------------------

So here's my request to you all:
1. Is my config correct? I'm sure it is.
2. Could you try it on your system and
   tell me whether the output differ from mine?
3. Is there something wrong on the latest ubuntu precise?
   Or is it just my imagination that I have it working before? :)

Thanks,
