I got some help on this forum yesterday:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/216989#new

That solved most of my problem; it does pretty much what it should.

The problem now is that all requests get routed to index.php without
passing anything extra. (I use the codeigniter php framework if that
matters.) The way the configuration file is right now everything gets
passed to index.php without any extra info. So no matter what is in the
url, the page that loads is as if you had just put index.php

If I were using apache, I would have a rewrite rule like so:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

which makes a url be something nice like:

example.com/controller/action

rather than

example.com/index.php/controller/action

Now I also need to do that in nginx, but the script also needs to be
sent to fast cgi (port 9000).

Here's my nginx.conf so far (big thanks to Igor Sysoev for helping me
out a few hours ago. This is the same file from the link I posted at the
beginning (the one Igor Sysoev fixed)):
