QUESTION: What am I missing or doing wrong?

I'm trying to migrate fully functional Zend Framework application from Apache2 with mod_php5 to nginx with php5-fpm. I get this kind of errors:

2012/06/27 12:08:04 [error] 1986#0: *1 open() "/var/www/public/sales/live-trials-json" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: *.*.*.*, server: www.mydomain.com, request: "POST /sales/live-trials-json HTTP/1.1", host: "www.mydomain.com", referrer: "https://www.mydomain.com/sales/live-trials"

Here are my configuration files:

a) /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/www

server {

c) /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

f) php -v (this is cli version, but I swear I am running nginx with fpm:)

PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Apr 11 2012 17:25:33)

So, is there anyone able to answer this challenge? Nobody???

Alright, after long and exhausting struggles, I've managed to figure out this madness. So, I've started everything from scratch and here is what I've learned:

Entire weirdness is somewhere in location ~* ... { ... }, so whoever have better experience, please explain why :-) Meanwhile I'll manage assets and caching on application layer.

My functional configuration file looks like this:

server {
listen 80;
listen 443 default ssl;

server_name www.mydomain.com;
root /var/www/public;

ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.key;

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;

index index.php index.phtml index.html;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
}
