Zend Framework won't work for URLs with trailing slash -- how to configure nginx to rewrite URLs properly?

Question

I am setting up an nginx server to be used with the Zend Framework. For the most part it works. However, if there is a trailing slash on the end of a URL, for example http://localhost/test/ vs http://localhost/test, the URL with a trailing slash will not work. This is unexpected and unfortunate. I want it to work for both URLs.

What should I do to resolve this? My nginx configuration is:

server { listen 80; server_name mywebsite.com; root /var/www/site/public; location / { rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param APPLICATION_ENV development; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/site/public/index.php; } } 

As you can see I've tried to add a rewrite condition but it isn't seeming to make a difference.

Here's a pair of config files that I use for Zend Framework applications. First, php.conf, which I share between projects on my development workstation. I keep this at a directory above my sites directory, right in the nginx config root (e.g. /usr/local/etc/nginx/php.conf):

fastcgi_intercept_errors on; # this will allow Nginx to intercept 4xx/5xx error codes # Nginx will only intercept if there are error page rules defined # -- This is better placed in the http {} block as a default # -- so that in the case of wordpress, you can turn it off specifically # -- in that virtual host's server block location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_param APPLICATION_ENV development; 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 GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1; 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_read_timeout 60; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001; fastcgi_index index.php; } 

And then the server block that makes use of that:

server { listen 80; server_name local.example.com; root /var/www/example/public; location / { index index.php; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args; } include php.conf; } 

In your case, I think the key bit is try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;, where we just pass the URL and query string wholesale to index.php, and let it do the parsing.
