Answer 1

I did the following..

in the folder /home/userrunningnginx/nginx/domain.com

I have:

default.conf (file)

include /home/neukbaarofnietps/nginx/neukbaarofniet.com/drop;

drop (file)

# Rather than just denying .ht* in the config, why not deny
# access to all .invisible files
location ~ /\. { deny  all; access_log off; log_not_found off; }

nginx.conf (file)

location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

}

WORDPRESS-NGINX.CONF (file)

 #######################
# WP Super Cache

# if the requested file exists, return it immediately
if (-f $request_filename) {
  break;
}

set $supercache_file '';
set $supercache_uri $request_uri;

if ($request_method = POST) {
  set $supercache_uri '';
}

# Using pretty permalinks, so bypass the cache for any query string
if ($query_string) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}

if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_" ) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}

# if we haven't bypassed the cache, specify our supercache file
if ($supercache_uri ~ ^(.+)$) {
set $supercache_file /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host$1/index.html;
}

# only rewrite to the supercache file if it actually exists
if (-f $document_root$supercache_file) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $supercache_file break;
}

# all other requests go to Wordpress
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
}

Answer 2

Adding this block to your nginx.conf should solve the issue:

     if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^/wordpress_dir/(.+)$ /wordpress_dir/index.php?q=$1 last;
     }

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
