XF 1.2 enabling seo with nginx gives 404 errors

[Nicky Vermeersch]

I recently decided to undergo an adventure, and try to setup a VPS completely from scratch. I installed php-fpm with nginx. I read some articles here on the forum, as well as the xenforo help. However each time when I enable the SEO Friendly Links, I get 404 errors when I for example click on the Members page, and I have no idea how to fix them

This is my first time using nginx and doing the entire setup myself, so please forgive me for any dumb mistakes

this is my /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf file

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;

    location / {
        root  /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.php index.html index.htm;
    }
    error_page  500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root  /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        root          /usr/share/nginx/html;
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
        index index.php index.html;
    }
    location /data/ {
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    location /internal_data/ {
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    }
    location /library/ {
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    }
}

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

user  nginx;
worker_processes  4;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
    include      /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

Found the error, they were pretty retarded. I basically didn't pick them up because i did service nginx reload instead of restart, and because of that it never gave me errors. I found out that I had duplicate rules which don't work together, and that I forgot a curly brace

Red means deleting
Green means adding
