It's been two days I'm trying every possible configurations. I'm getting half-way there, but never all the way.
It's done on a remote server with fresh Debian 9.14 install after my HDD died. MariaDB + php7.0-fpm + nginx 1.10.3
I can access the Homepage & Wp-admin, but all others pages are 404 when in custom permalinks. I can access everything when permalinks are in Plain.
I have several websites, same issue for all.
My folder structure is : /var/www/website1/ && /var/www/website2/ etc...
Here are my nginx config:
/etc/nginx/site-available/default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name xx.xxx.xx.xxx;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
NOTE: from there, I apparently don't need to setup any other config file for the other website... I can access them all just with that. Is this normal? On my previous server, I had to create per site config files.
Still, here is one of them
/etc/nginx/site-available/website1
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name _;
root /var/www/website1;
charset utf-8;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; }
access_log /var/log/nginx/website-access.log combined;
error_log /var/log/nginx/website-error.log error;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
# Don't use `$uri` here, see https://github.com/yandex/gixy/issues/77
rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$request_uri/ permanent;
rewrite ^(/[^/]+)?(/wp-.*) $2 last;
rewrite ^(/[^/]+)?(/.*\.php) $2 last;
}
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location = /robots.txt {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
allow all;
}
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
#try_files $uri $uri/ /website1/index.php?q=$uri&$args;
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
#satisfy any;
#allow all;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
}
But as I say, with or without that file, I can access website1. The fact that I can access it (or any other website in /var/www/) just with the default config file seems weird to me... Still the permalink issue remains.

I'm not an nginx expert and always had a hard time with its configuration, but always figured it out. But here I feel really stuck. Thanks for your help!
UPDATE
I managed to get the permalinks to work on website1, but now I can't figure out how to add other hosts.
Here is the new file. It's also the only config file used. No /etc/nginx/site-available/website1 is used...
/etc/nginx/site-available/default

listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;

ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

}
rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
}
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
