NGINX + Codeigniter doesnt work can't access controllers and send parameters to controllers

Question

I want to run codeigniter under NGINX but it just doesnt work. I want to be able to send a parameters to controllers methods. But so far I can not even access controller using the address example.com/index.php/welcome.php. It says No input file specified. However when I type example.com/index.php/ it redirects to welcome controller. I would say I have tried all nginx config files on the internet.

this is my ngnix config

 server { ## Your website name goes here. server_name compute.amazonaws.com; ## Your only path reference. root /var/www/; listen 80; ## This should be in your http block and if it is, it's not needed here. index index.html index.htm index.php; location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ { expires max; log_not_found off; } # location / { # This is cool because no php is touched for static content #try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; # try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; # location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last; } } location ~ \.php$ { #try_files $uri =404; #fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$; # # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini # # # With php5-cgi alone: # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # # With php5-fpm: fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } } 

this is my welcome controller

 <?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); class Welcome extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } function index() { $this->load->helper('url'); $this->load->view('welcome_message'); } function a($a) { echo "AHOJ "; echo $a; } } 

I want to be able to call function a from welcome controller and get response. Basicaly I want to build a REST server and this is my routes.php

 $route['default_controller'] = "welcome"; $route['404_override'] = ''; $route['test_welcome'] = 'welcome'; $route['api/v1/(:any)'] = "api_v1/$1"; $route['item/(:any)'] = "item/show_item/$1"; $route['scaffolding_trigger'] = ""; 

The important line is $route['api/v1/(:any)'] = "api_v1/$1"; I want this to work.

This is my codeigniter config.php

 $config['base_url'] = ''; $config['index_page'] = ''; $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI'; 

Please help me somehow. Thank you very much

Finally I got it working. I have used nginx config from https://gist.github.com/lynxluna/1050850 and modified it a little bit. This is my config

 server { # GENERAL CONFIGS listen 80; server_name example.com .example.com; root /var/www; index index.html index.htm index.php; location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ { expires max; add_header Pragma public; try_files $uri /index.html; } # ROOT Location location / { try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrites; } location @rewrites { if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last; break; } } location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location ~ /\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; } # PHP Configs fastcgi_intercept_errors on; location ~ \.php { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri; fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri; fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root; fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol; fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx; fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr; fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port; fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr; fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port; fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; } }
