nginx error: "No input file specified" when website in subdirectory

Question

I have been trying to search about this problem a few hours but none of the solutions seem to work in my case.

I have installed joomla in my nginx server on raspbian for testing purposes. The directory is in /var/www/joomla.

The site works if I change the root directory from /etc/nginx/sites-available to /var/www/joomla, but if I want my joomla site accessed from http://www.example.com/joomla, it won't work. I can get to the joomla homepage, but if I click some link from the homepage (for example I have a contact form which address is http://www.example.com/joomla/index.php/contact) I get "No input file specified error".

Here is my config from /etc/nginx/sites-available/site:

server {
     listen 80;
     root /var/www;
     index index.php index.html index.htm;

     location / {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
     }

     location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
     }
     }

I read this error may have something to do with fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME, but I didn't figure out what I should edit and from where.

Thank you!

Isn't the problem that you are sending requests to /index.php when this file is actually located at /joomla/index.php ? — Joe Niland

Thank you Joe Niland! That was the reason and now it is working. — Erkki500

Yes! I got it working. Thanks to Joe Niland who told the solution.

I actually tried it once but I may have missed the '/' before the joomla/index.php....

The working /etc/nginx/sites-available/site configuration is now:

server {
 listen 80;
 root /var/www;
 index index.php index.html index.htm;

 location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ /joomla/index.php?q=$request_uri;
 }

 location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
 }
 }

Look below for config setting

server {
     listen 80;
     root /var/www;
     index index.php index.html index.htm;

     location / {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri$args;
     }

     location ~ \.php$ {
            root /var/www;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include fastcgi_params;
     }
     }
