nginx try_files and index not performing as expected

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

When a user hits up a directory, it needs to run the local ./index.php So far, when people hit up /social/ it runs index.php When the user visits all unknown URLs, they get /social/index.php

However, when a user vists /social/subdir/ and there is a /social/subdir/index.php, it still runs /social/index.php. I need it to run /social/subdir/index.php

if I change the config to: 

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

Then nginx serves up the CONTENT of social/subdir/index.php as content-type: octet/stream.

I thought index index.php would look for the paths index file.

php rendering block:

location ~ .php$ { ## Execute PHP scripts
    if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite / /index.php last; } ## Catch 404s that try_files miss

    expires        off; ## Do not cache dynamic content        
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include        /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}

I think your main issue is that you didn't use http:// before 127.0.0.1:9000 , also make sure that your php uses port 9000 not a sock file, otherwise you change the fastcgi_pass to unix socket.

Here's my simplified config.

Remove the index index.php from the /social block if it's the same value in the server block.

location /social {
    # index index.php; # remove if not needed
    try_files $uri $uri/ /social/index.php;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
}

First remove the index.php from the try_files directive so it will look like this

location /social {
  index index.php;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /social/index.php =404;
}

Also make sure that no other location block catches the /social/subdir/ request.

Lastly (irrelevant to your question, but very important) remove this line

if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite / /index.php last; } ## Catch 404s that try_files miss

It is totally redundant and evil. try_files does not miss 404s. Have a look at this for more info IfIsEvil
