I have a similar issue.

Do we need separate location directives for each and every possible path, or can we do some "rewrite" inside location for the main / root folder? For example:

location = / {

# rewrite rules come here..
rewrite "^/adm$" "/wordpress/wp-login.php";
....
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/example.com/wordpress/wp-login.php
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

}



To me this is cleaner, but want to make sure that this is not the less desirable way?

Thanks.
