Hi there,

In general in nginx, one request is handled in one location. Only the
configuration in, or inherited into, that location, matters.

It you use rewrite-module directives, things are a bit more complicated.

There is lots at http://nginx.org/en/docs/; it may be hard to find the
one piece of information you want, but it is probably there somewhere.

What one request do you make that leads to that problem?

What is the one location that handles that request?

Same questions.

The request "/movies/index.html" will be handled in this location:

(Usually, it is good if the number of /s at the end of "alias" and and
the end of "location" are the same.)

The request "/movies/index.php" will be handled in this location:

Enable more logging; or "tcpdump", to see what nginx sends to your fastcgi
server. "/movies/index.php" is unlikely to be correctly handled here.

Good luck with it,
