Wordpress nginx重定向循环

Question

So, yesterday I had a question how to install the wordpress in the "/root" directory. I wasn't very successful in that one and I forgo'ed on that one.

So, right now the wordpress is located under "/var/www/wordpress" (so it's under separate folder) folder (I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, if it matters).

And my problem is that right after I had configured everything (everything was working like a charm there) I was redirected to the admin panel page. Everything was working fine up until the moment when I tried to visit the blog.

The URL address for my blog is: "blog.mysite.com". That is why I use NGINX, because I have two different applications (and environments) on one server and I need to distinguish between them.

So, the fact is: blog.mysite.com/wp-admin (/wp-login.php) is working totally OK, but when I visit the front page: blog.mysite.com, it keeps telling me that there is an endless redirect loop (301 redirect according to nginx access log file).

In admin panel I have both "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site address (URL)" set to: "http://blog.mysite.com". Modifying either of them to something else, like: "http://blog.mysite.com/wordpress" is not helping at all!

".htaccess" file is empty, but I'm using default permalinks, so should not be a problem (However, I'm not sure).

Both nginx and apache2 root directives are pointing to "/var/www/wordpress". Static files (css,js) are working, if it matters.

How can I fix this problem ? Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

I had a lot of problems when switching from Apache to Nginx in the past, all solved when I purged Apache, which somehow was interfering with Nginx and caused problems to every server. Here is my wordpress configuration for Nginx, according to both Nginx and Wordpress guides for each other:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name blog.mysite.com;

    root /var/www/wordpress;
    index index.php;

    charset utf-8;

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

    location ~* ^.+\.(ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|mp4|ttf|rss|atom|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|ppt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf)$ {
        access_log off; log_not_found off; expires max;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri /index.php;

      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        # CHANGE THE LINE ABOVE IF NEEDED
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

I didn't even have to change anything in the admin panel when switching servers, it just worked fine.
