I emailed the group earlier regarding Nginx and Moodle, but have more  
specific information.

From the Moodle documentation, they are saying that:

“Your web server needs to be configured to allow the part of the URL  
after  
a script name to be passed directly to the script.”

and that in order to do that, the following Apache setting needs to be  
set:

_AcceptPathInfo_ on

and that this rewrite rule needs to be set up:

_RewriteRule_ ^([^?]+?.php)(/.+)$ $1?file=$2 [QSA]

How do I accomplish the same in Nginx?
