root and alias with php5-fpm

[Kristofer Pettijohn]

Is this the issue I might be experiencing when I try to use the alias directive?

However, I know that "root" will append the URI to the path, so it will try /apps/grant/grant/ and /apps/grant/employ/ when looking for files.  When I use "alias", it seems that try_files tries looking for index.php in the context of "location /" on each.

I just want each location in each server to see /apps/grant/ as the root, and for try_files to process the index.php file in the base of that location last.
