    } 

My solution looks like this:

location ~ ^/favicons/.*$ {
    try_files $uri /data/$uri;
}

I think it is very necessary to disallow a visit to config.ini

location = /config.ini {
deny all;
}

The CSS and JS aren't loading for me with this configuration. And nginx informed me that it has no idea what "main" means in the access_log line. Comparing to my other sites running on nginx, I don't have anything after the filename.

Oh. I miss the comments! After writing this configuration snipped I stopped using selfoss. But well here are the updates.

@maco I dropped the "main" tag as it is not available in debians/ubuntus nginx. Is the public directory readable?

Just in case you have Selfoss inside a folder, would work:

// **********************************************************************

location ~ /selfoss(.*).php($|/) {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/nginx/html/selfoss$1.php;
}

location ~ /selfoss(.*) {
autoindex on;
alias /usr/share/nginx/html/selfoss$1;
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.+)$ /selfoss/index.php?q=$1 last; }
}

// **********************************************************************

Keep in mind you would have to change the path address: /usr/share/nginx/html/selfoss to yours.

two remarks :

• your upstream backend embrace is not correct. The correct server unix line would be :

upstream backend { server unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock; }

• for those who doesn't have css and js loaded : don't forget to modify the base_url of your config.ini !

Just had this issue, what kind of url I should put in ?
Apparently in console i have found that all of the images and css not appear.
