I followed the instructions on the wiki article (link 1) for configuring  
nginx and magento, which works great… if magento is installed in the  
document root folder. I have magento installed in a subfolder, e.g.  
/store/. I found an example (link 2) that works; however, it is not as  
complete as the first example. I was able to mix the two through trial  
and error and get a partially working store. As far as I can tell, I  
should modify the try\_files (line 15), @handler (line 39), the js  
rewrite (lines 42-44), and the catch 404s (line 47). How should I change  
them? If anyone has a complete .conf, I would very much appreciate a  
copy. Thanks
