improvements to wordpress vhost for nginx

[valentinomariotto]

Hi Juan,
I found that the bundled Wordpress configuration for Nginx doesn't work well.
Please consider providing the following configuration instead. I'm no expert, but this works:

# /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress.conf
# Wordpress

map $cookie_XDEBUG_SESSION $my_fastcgi_pass {
    default 127.0.0.1:9000;
    xdebug  127.0.0.1:${phpfpm_xdebug_port};
}

server {
    listen *:${nginxport} default_server;

    server_name _;
    root /var/www;
    index index.php;
	

    location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }
	
	rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
	
	# WPLM fix
	rewrite ^/en/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
	rewrite ^/de/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
	rewrite ^/fr/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
	rewrite ^/es/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
	rewrite ^/it/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;

    location ~ \.php(/|$) {
        set $path_info $fastcgi_path_info;

        fastcgi_pass $my_fastcgi_pass;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;

        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico {
        log_not_found off;
        access_log off;
    }

    location = /robots.txt {
        allow all;
        log_not_found off;
        access_log off;
    }

    location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
        expires max;
        log_not_found off;
    }

    location ~ /\. {
        deny all;
    }
	
	location ~ /\.svn/* {
        deny all;
    }

    location ~ /\.git/* {
        deny all;
    }
	
	location /nginx_status {
        stub_status on;
        access_log off;
    }
	
	location ~ ^/(status|ping)$ {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $fastcgi_script_name;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    }
}
