LinuxQuestions.org - Some Joomla administration links give "Component not found" with nginx

Hi

I am trying to host a Joomla! site using nginx and FastCGI. It works, for the most part, except for one thing (which is actually more of an annoyance): when in the administrator section of the site, whenever editing a component that you have to click Save or Cancel or any other buttons of finalization (e.g. copying a menu, saving an article, etc.), the action takes effect, but instead of being redirected back to the list of items (or whatever), I get a "Component not found" error. The problem, upon observation of the URL, is obvious: the "administrator/" part of the URL had been dropped. In other words, what was supposed to be "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/administrator/index.php?various_args" is now "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.php?various_args". Below is the nginx config for my site.

Code:

server {

    listen 80;

    client_max_body_size 50M;

    server_name localhost;

    root /var/www/cmstest/joomla;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/cmstest.access.log;

    error_log /var/log/nginx/cmstest.error.log;

    location / {

      index  index.html index.php;

      expires  max;

      break;

    }

    location ~ \.php$ {

      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;

      fastcgi_index  index.php;

      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www/cmstest/joomla$fastcgi_script_name;

      include        /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;

      expires  max;

    }

    error_page  500 502 503 504  /50x.html;

    location =  /500.html { root  /var/www/cmstest; }

}

The fastcgi.conf file referenced is:

Code:

fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING      $query_string;

fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD    $request_method;

fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE      $content_type;

fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH    $content_length;

Is this a rewrite issue? I've tried playing around with some stuff (if ($request_uri ~* administrator/.*\.php$) { fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /path/to/root/administrator$fastcgi_script_name; }), but to no avail (and, in fact, more problems). If you need more information, let me know!

Thanks,
