Thanks for your input Francis.
What I suspected seemed old but I really don't understand the problem I am
facing.

Consider the following server configuration for some phpBB forum:
server {
listen 80;
server_name b.cd;
try_files $uri $uri/;

root /var/www/phpBB3;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;

location /favicon.ico {
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
expires 7d;
return 204;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
}


Requesting b.cd in the browser ends up wth a HTTP 500 error:
'[error] 12345#0: *42 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while
internally redirecting to "/", client: 12.34.56.78, server: b.cd, request:
"GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "b.cd"'

Adding / at the end of try_files so it reads:
try_files $uri $uri/ /;
solves the problem...

Really, I don't get it.
Any insight on what is going on?
