Hi Everyone,

I have installed nginx on a new centos server using fastcgi. I am having  
a little problem with the nginx config file.

When my site is trying to grab a css file for example:

[http://domain.com/app/css.php?request=skin/theme.css](http://domain.com/app/css.php?request=skin/theme.css)

It redirects to:

[http://domain.com/app/css.php/app/css.php?request=skin/theme.css](http://domain.com/app/css.php/app/css.php?request=skin/theme.css)

And therefore throws a 404 because it has somehow duplicated the  
directory structure.

I was wondering if anyone else had had a similar problem in the past and  
could share their wisdom? 🙂

Thanks

Mike
