That is approximately "try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$uri;", which
would appear inside a location{}; and there would also be (probably)
something involving fastcgi_pass for handling the "php" requests.

http://nginx.org/r/try_files for the try_files documentation, and similar
urls for any other directives used.

http://nginx.org/r/location

"location" cannot be directly inside "http"; it must be inside "server".

That is reporting that "location" cannot be directly inside "http".

Probably the simplest is to start with whatever initial config file
your system has, and see what "location" block inside a "server" block
is used to handle a test request. Then adjust that "location", or add
a new one beside it, for your testing.

Good luck with it,
