Error parsing wp-app.php (Wordpress) on Nginx

Server NGINX
1

I moved my website from apache to nginx and everything seems to be
working as expected except (Well, I’ve only seen that error) when I try
to create posts through the Atom publishing protocol which can be
accesed via http://wordpressblog.com/wp-app.php, on apache it worked
well but on nginx it gives me a 404 error, I think it’s not only me
because every other wordpress blog that is using nginx gives me that
error.
I could only find this that could be semi-related to this error:
#7361 (Fixes for wp-app with PHP-CGI) – WordPress Trac but it is a fix for apache
and I can’t make it work on nginx
Any ideas to fix it?
If you have a wordpress blog running on nginx I’d appreciate if you tell
me if you can correctly access your wp-app.php file.
Note that I’m currently using php-cgi with nginx, Could php-fpm make it
work?

I’ve also setup a dumb installation for testing purposes at
http://test.is-gorgeo.us/wp-app.php here is it’s php information:
http://test.is-gorgeo.us/phpinfo.php with this nginx.conf file:
http://pastebin.com/qeUvpGrk I don’t know if it’s useful but here is the
content of the wp-app.php file: http://pastebin.com/dX0Kn18i

That was it, thank you.

This doesn’t make sense:
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last;
}

You’re capturing the URI for what?

The Atom publishing works for me. I use a nested location and avoid
fastcgi_split_path_info. Following the suggestions of Igor and Maxim
on the list some time ago. Here’s the PHP handling part.

    ## Regular PHP processing.
    location ~ ^(?<script>.+\.php)(?<path_info>.*)$ {
        include fastcgi.conf;
        ## The fastcgi_params must be redefined from the ones
        ## given in fastcgi.conf. No longer standard names
        ## but arbitrary: named patterns in regex.
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$script;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $script;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
        ## Passing the request upstream to the FastCGI
        ## listener.
        fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi/php-cgi.socket;
        ## Upload progress support.
        track_uploads uploads 60s;
    }

Note that this is just a snippet from the full config. There is also a
try_files directive:

## The 'final' attempt to serve the request.
location @nocache {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}

This config takes wp-super-cache in consideration. If you just want to
use WP then the config on the Wiki WordPress | NGINX,
works (although using fastcgi_split_path_info). In case you’re
interested, my WP config is on github:
GitHub - perusio/wordpress-nginx: Nginx configuration for running WordPress

I’ve yet to include the multi-site setup.
