In nginx, one request is handled in one location{}. Only the
configuration in (or inherited into) that location matters.

(One http request can become more than one (sub)request within nginx.)

"^~" means "prefix match, and do not look at parallel regex matches".

So a request for /proj1/index.php will be handled in this location{}. And
this location has no fastcgi_pass or similar directive, so it will use
"serve from the filesystem".

Probably the simplest fix is to copy the "location ~ \.php$ {" block to
be inside each of the "location ^~" blocks.


Note also -- if the request is for /proj1/missing, the try_files will
use the subrequest /index.php?q=/proj1/missing& -- is that what you want,
instead of (e.g) /proj1/index.php?q=/proj1/missing& ?

Good luck with it,
