Pages under main page not loading with Nginx

[Kayla Manchette]

Hello,

I just got Nginx working with my website today, looking at transitioning 
from Apache. I have pointed Nginx at the folder where all the files for 
my website are located, and Nginx will show the main page just fine. 
When I try to go to another page on my website, it cannot tell where 
those files are. I just receive a 404 not found error.

Can anyone help me figure out why I cannot get Nginx to recognize the 
other pages of my site?

The main page is an html file and the rest are php files. Does that have 
something to do with it?

I have attached the Nginx file for my site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
