ngxin config for working with php-fpm and symfony using wildcard vhosts. "sfdev" is the suffix for hosts so to get to the site for example you would use http://example.sfdev/

ngxin.symfony

server {
  server_name .sfdev;
  index index.php;
  autoindex on;

  client_max_body_size 256M;

  charset utf-8;

  set $root "";
  if ($host ~* ^(admin\.)?(.+)\.sfdev) {
    set $root $2;
    set $admin $1;
  }

  location / {
    root /Users/harry/Sites/symfony/$root/web;
    if (-f $request_filename) {
      break;
    }

    set $filename "index.php";
    if ($admin = admin.) {
      set $filename "backend_dev.php";
    }

    if ($request_filename !~ "\.(htc|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$") {
      rewrite ^(.*) /$filename last;
    }
  }

  location ~ \.php($|/) {
    set $script $uri;
    set $path_info "";

    if ($uri ~ "^(.+\.php)(/.*)") {
      set $script $1;
      set $path_info $2;
    }

    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /Users/harry/Sites/symfony/$root/web$script;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
