I also think CodeIgniter needs the PATH_INFO environment variable set.

Moreover, there is a potential security breach in your current configuration

..
The recommended way (when using the same machine for front-end and back-end
services) it to use try_files to check for the existence of the invoked PHP
script. However, since using try_files with fastcgi_split_pathinfo wreaks
havoc (that *won't fix*, not a bug... oO)
http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/321, I would recommend patching you
PHP location like the following:

location ~^ \.php$ {
# root /var/www/example/; # You should follow Anoop piece of advice
index index.php;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*?)$;
# $fastcgi_script_name is a system path to a file,
# while $uri is... an URI which might not always correspond to a file
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404; # Checking PHP script existence

# A trick to go beyond the bug/'feature' using try_files with
fastcgi_split_pathinfo
set $path_info $fastcgi_path_info
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}


Hope I helped,
