I don't believe this is an nginx problem, (I think it's somewhere in the
php end) but don't know where to turn. Hopefully since nginx seems to be
tied closely with php-fpm, someone her might be able to point me in the
right direction.

I'm experimenting with nginx on an Arch system. I'm able to get pages from
document-Root for both static and php pages. I can get static page from
User directory, but cannot get php page from there. Here is the location
block for this part.

--------------------- Begin Code -----------------------

location ~ ^/~(.+)(/.+\.php)(.*)? {
alias /home/$1/public_html;
fastcgi_split_path_info (/[^/]+\.php)(.*)?$;

# Shows /home/user/public_html
add_header X-Debug-Document-Root $document_root;

#next two = /~user/public_html
add_header X-Debug-Document-Uri $document_uri;
add_header X-Debug-Request-uri $request_uri;

# Shows /hello.php
add_header X-Debug-script-name $fastcgi_script_name;

# Does not display
add_header X-Debug-path-info $fastcgi_path_info;

# This displays exactly correct path. I can copy and
# paste this path after "ls -l" on command line and list the
file
add_header X-Debug-Script_Filename
$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

# Displays /~user/hello.php
add_header X-Debug-uri $uri;

# This doesn't return error error
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
# This line causes Error 404 "File Not Found".
# Without it - ReturnsStatus code 200 with blank page
(expected result)
# Hard-coding path here still produces Error 404
# Hard-coding path to file in Document Root and it displays
correctly.
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#include fastcgi_params;
return 200; # To cause headers to show
}

------------------------------------ End code --------------------------
It almost seems to be some kind of permission problem, but everything from
/home down to the files in 'public_html' have read permissions for all
entitities set, and again, static files in this folder are read and
rendered. I tried to find out if php needed any settings to allow reading
outside document_root, but could not find anything.

Probably something stupidly simple, but if anyone can tell me what I'm
doing wrong or missing, I'd appreciate it greatly.
