Jan Dembowski on "Permalinks Nginx not working - Help required"

Converting my main site to nginx has been on my todo list for ages...

When it's switched on, I cannot access the admin section... So there is something wrong in the code I use...

I'm running nginx 1.1.9 (nginx -v) so this might not work for you. Make a backup copy of your configuration file first and see if you can add this above your location ~ \.php$ section.

location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        }

Really, make sure you have that backup of that file first.
