What is shown when you "diff" the working old nginx.conf and the failing
new nginx.conf?

Do the old and new use the same fastcgi server? Are there any differences
in the fastcgi server config?

What file on your filesystem do you want the fasctcgi server to process
when you request this index.cgi? -- your server layout.

What SCRIPT_FILENAME value(s) does nginx send to your fastcgi server? --
nginx debug logs, or watch the traffic.

(Does your fastcgi server even use SCRIPT_FILENAME? -- your fastcgi
server documentation.)

Is SCRIPT_FILENAME set in your /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params?
