Yii从NGINX上的url中删除index.php

Question

I've moved Yii 1 website to a new Ubuntu server with NGINX and all works fine except cleaned URLs without index.php part. For example page http://****/site/about redirects to homepage but http://****/index.php/site/about shows correct page. My current server block configuration file contains this location rules:

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

location ~ \.php$ {
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING    $query_string;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}

I've also tried using

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$uri?$args;

but it end up with redirect loop.

Seems like rewrite /index.php$uri?$args never validates against $uri check.

In Yii config I have

'urlManager' => array (
            'urlFormat' => 'path',
            'showScriptName' => false,
            'caseSensitive' => false,
            'rules' => array (
                '<public_url:about>'=>'site/about',
                '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
                ....

So the question is how to make http://****/site/about show same page as http://****/index.php/site/about request?

Thank you in advance.

No. The location \.php$ only matches URIs which end with .php. After you append path info, it no longer matches.

The correct way to process php scripts with path info, is to replace the terminating $ with (/|$) and use the fastcgi_split_path_info directive to separate the path info from the script path name. See this document for details.
