"location ~ php$ { deny all; }" does not deny access to any php files,
even when nested in "location ^~ /installdirectory/ {}". The previous
configuration "location ~* installdirectory/.*\.php$ { deny all; }"
did block access to all php files. The ".*\." - is that why one works
and the other doesn't?

I read through the nginx.org explanation of the location directive,
but it isn't helping me with understanding how to build the deny
statement.
