nginx and wordpress permalink settings

[onastvar]

I've added the following to nginx Directives for mysite

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

Any wordpress permalink settings besides default I get error
"ERROR 404 - Not Found!"

I followed The Perfect Server - Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) With BIND, Dovecot & Nginx [ISPConfig 3] to setup my server

Permalink Settings (Settings > Permalinks) structure is

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

My vhost file looks like this:

        listen *:80;


        server_name example.com www.example.com;

        root   /var/www/example.com/web;

Any ideas how to make nginx work with wordpress?

Thanks!

I have this in my nginx Directives field:

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

       # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
       rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

       location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
       }

Thanks Falko, that worked!

Do you know how long it takes ISPConfig to process the
change I make in DNS, nginx directives, etc?

[falko]

The backend processes changes once per minute.

I'm using following nginx directives for one web site (i.e. http://domain1.com/) which is WordPress

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

       # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
       rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

       location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
       }

Anyone knows, how can I make another wordpress site works under the same domain, just another folder
(i.e. http://domain1.com/test/site1) ?

Thanks!!!

Try

       location /test/site1 {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /test/site1/index.php?$args;
       }

       # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
       rewrite /test/site1/wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

Thank You Falko! This worked perfectly.

Thanks Falko, that worked perfectly except for one minor annoyance:

if I visit my backend I mysite.tld/wp-admin/index.php the drop-down/hover menus in the backend menu don't work.
If I visit mysite.tld/wp-admin/ everything works perfectly. can we somehow strip the index.php from dashboard URLs?
