I am having trouble configuring nginx to serve up PHP from outside of the server document root. For example, this site's root is /usr/local/www/site1/wordpress and phpMyAdmin is located in /usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin. I cannot access servername.com/phpmyadmin. nginx logs the following error:

====================================================================
2014/01/09 09:56:20 [error] 39387#0: *6160 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: clientIP, server: serverhostname, request: "GET /phpmyadmin/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock:", host: "serverhostname"
====================================================================

The WordPress site, however, is served without error. Therefore, nginx is refusing to serve PHP from outside of the server document root. Please see the following configuration:


nginx.conf

                fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

        }
    }
}

I am obviously lacking some required configuration. Perhaps in nginx.conf, php-fpm.conf, or php.ini. Could someone please advise me of my error and how to correct it? Thank you.

Strangely, in Apache, I simply required an alias entry, such as:

Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin">
  Options None
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

in my httpd.conf file even when the server root was above this location and with the exact same PHP settings (php.ini) as I now have with nginx.
