Thank you Francis.

Your suggestion has indeed solved the issue!

You rock!

I still have a long way to go until I feel confident with nginx 
configuration, I am afraid...

Unfortunately, we are one of those one-man-shops, where we cannot devote 
sufficient time in learning all technologies we deal with in the 
required depth.

That's why we need to disturb from time to time polite people like you. :-)

By the way, is there some method to define a block of code which can be 
included at various places?

For example, we might have a block like:

         location ~ \.php$ {

            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
            fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING    $query_string;
            fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD  $request_method;
            fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE    $content_type;
            fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH  $content_length;

            fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;

            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

         }

Can we define it as a block and include it where needed as a reference?

Again, thanks a lot!
