Please use below code in

vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/domainname.com

server { 
server_name  cakeapp.example.com;
root   /var/www/vhosts/cake/app/webroot;
access_log  /var/log/nginx/cakeapp.access.log;
error_log   /var/log/nginx/cakeapp.error.log;

listen       80;
rewrite_log on;

# rewrite rules for cakephp
location / {
    index  index.php index.html;

    # If the file exists as a static file serve it 
    # directly without running all
    # the other rewite tests on it
    if (-f $request_filename) { 
        break; 
    }
    if (!-f $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
        break;
    }
}

location ~* \favicon.ico$ {
    expires 6m;
}
location ~ ^/img/ { 
    expires 7d; 
} 

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
    deny  all;
}

}

Its working for me.
