Please remove the entire location / block, in your current configuration ...

location / {
		root   /var/www;
		index  index.html index.htm index.php;
	}

*and then*, please insert what's suggested by Jan, for location / block...

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

I hope this helps.
