Rewrite all requests to index.php with nginx

In my apache configuration I have the following simple rewrite rule which

  1. unless file exists will rewrite to index.php
  2. on the urls you never see the file extension (.php)

how can I rewrite this in nginx?

#
# Redirect all to index.php
#
RewriteEngine On

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/[^.]*|\.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Here's how my nginx server block looks like now, but it doesn't work :(

root /home/user/www;
index index.php;

# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name some-domain.dev;


###############################################################
# exclude /favicon.ico from logs
location = /favicon.ico {
    log_not_found off;
    access_log off;
}   

##############################################################
# Disable logging for robots.txt
location = /robots.txt {
    allow all;
    log_not_found off;
    access_log off;
}   

##############################################################
# Deny all attempts to access hidden files such as 
# .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store (Mac).
location ~ /\. {
    deny all;
    access_log off;
    log_not_found off;
}   

##############################################################
#   
location / { 
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/index.php$args;
    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
}   

###############################################################
# serve static files directly
location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
    access_log off;
    expires    30d;
}   

###############################################################
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
    root html;
}   

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#   
location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
    # With php5-cgi alone:
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

I have tried this and succeeded to get my index page. When I have added this code in my site configuration file:

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

Inside the configuration file itself it is explained that these are the configured steps

First attempt to serve request as file, then as directory, then fall back to index.html

In my case it is index.php, as I am providing page through php code.

Using nginx $is_args instead of ? For GET query Strings

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

Here's the answer of your 2nd question :

   location / {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /$1.php last;
}

it's work for me (based my experience), means that all of your blabla.php will rewrite into blabla

like http://yourwebsite.com/index.php to http://yourwebsite.com/index

If you want to pass just the index.php ( no other php file will be passed to fastcgi ) to fastcgi in case you have routes like this in a framework like codeigniter 

$route["/download.php"] = "controller/method";


location ~ index\.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        include fastcgi.conf;
}

To pass get variables as well use $args:

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

Here is what worked for me to solve part 1 of this question:

    location / {
            rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php =404;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass php5-fpm-sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
    }

rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent; rewrites non-file addresses (addresses without file extensions) to have a "/" at the end. I did this because I was running into "Access denied." message when I tried to access the folder without it.

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php =404; is borrowed from SanjuD's answer, but with an extra 404 reroute if the location still isn't found.

fastcgi_index index.php; was the final piece of the puzzle that I was missing. The folder didn't reroute to the index.php without this line.

Flat and simple config without rewrite, can work in some cases:

location / {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/webuser/site/index.php;
}

1 unless file exists will rewrite to index.php

Add the following to your location ~ \.php$

try_files = $uri @missing;

this will first try to serve the file and if it's not found it will move to the @missing part. so also add the following to your config (outside the location block), this will redirect to your index page

location @missing {
    rewrite ^ $scheme://$host/index.php permanent;
}

2 on the urls you never see the file extension (.php)

to remove the php extension read the following: http://www.nullis.net/weblog/2011/05/nginx-rewrite-remove-file-extension/

and the example configuration from the link:

location / {
    set $page_to_view "/index.php";
    try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrites;
    root   /var/www/site;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/site$page_to_view;
}

# rewrites
location @rewrites {
    if ($uri ~* ^/([a-z]+)$) {
        set $page_to_view "/$1.php";
        rewrite ^/([a-z]+)$ /$1.php last;
    }
}
