Question: I'm trying to set up an alias so when someone accesses `/phpmyadmin/`, nginx will pull it from `/home/phpmyadmin/` rather than from the usual document root. However, everytime I pull up the URL, it gives me a 404 on all items not pulled through fastcgi. fastcgi seems to be working fine, whereas the rest is not. `strace` is telling me it's trying to pull everything else from the usual document root, yet I can't figure out why. Can anyone provide some insight?

Here is the relevant part of my config:

```
location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$
{
        include fcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home$fastcgi_script_name;
}

location /phpmyadmin
{
        alias /home/phpmyadmin/;
}

```

Answer: 
Figured out a way. I'm not sure if it's the BEST, but it's certainly working right now.

Here's what I did:

```
location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.*)$
{
        alias /home/phpmyadmin/$1;
}

```
Try

```
location ^~ /phpMyAdmin/
{
    alias /home/phpmyadmin/;

    location ~ \.php$
    {
        include fcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

```
