The try_files documentation is at http://nginx.org/r/try_files

It is not clear to me what specific response you want, to a particular request.

I would expect that something like

  try_files $uri /virtual_new.php;

or

  try_files $uri @php_missing;

would be better; but it does depend on what you want.

So: if I request /not-there.php should I get a http 301 redirect to
/virtual_new.php, or should I get the http 200 response as if I had
requested /virtual_new.php, or should I get a http 404 response but with
content from /virtual_new.php, or should I get something else?

And: if I request /not-there.php/extra, what response should I get?
