In location nginx section, if you use root then the value for $document_root$fastcgi_script_name is correct. But if you use alias the value is wrong. When use alias you need use $request_filename instead of $document_root$fastcgi_script_name.

location /myapp {
    alias /home/site/www/myapp;
    location ~* "\.php$" {
        fastcgi_pass   php_fpm_server:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;

        # Works in all cases.
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;

        ## Not work for 'alias' directive, only for 'root' directive.
        # fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Documentation for variables above:

$request_filename

file path for the current request, based on the root or alias directives, and the request URI

$document_root

root or alias directive’s value for the current request

$fastcgi_script_name

request URI or, if a URI ends with a slash, request URI with an index file name configured by the fastcgi_index directive appended to it. This variable can be used to set the SCRIPT_FILENAME and PATH_TRANSLATED parameters that determine the script name in PHP. For example, for the “/info/” request with the following directives

Nginx & Symlinks

Note, if root /var/www; is a symlink, change it to root /var/www/; otherwise nginx won't go past the symlink and you'll get a File not found error
