XF 1.3 Friendly URL Redirects for NginX

[Joshua]

For some reason my VPS isn't redirecting properly for friendly URLs. The forum is installed to http://www.domain.com/forum/. I'm using Nginx with Centmin Mod and I have the following in my domain.com.conf file:

server {
  server_name domain.com;
  rewrite ^   http://www.domain.com/forum$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain.com;
# ngx_pagespeed & ngx_pagespeed handler
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedhandler.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedstatslog.conf;
  # limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;
  # ssi  on;
  access_log /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/log/access.log combined buffer=32k;
  error_log /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/log/error.log;
  root /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public;

location / {

location /forum/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /xf/index.php?$uri&$args;
        index index.php index.html;
}

location /forum/internal_data/ {
        internal;
}
location /forum/library/ {
      internal;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include         fastcgi_params;

}

# block common exploits, sql injections etc
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/block.conf;

  # Enables directory listings when index file not found
  #autoindex  on;

  # Shows file listing times as local time
  #autoindex_localtime on;

  # Enable for vBulletin usage WITHOUT vbSEO installed
  #try_files             / /index.php;

  }

  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
  #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
}

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

try_files $uri $uri/ /xf/index.php?$uri&$args;

Try:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;

You left the example /xf/ in there.

If that doesn't work replace /xf/ with /forum/

        location /forum/ {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/index.php?$uri&$args;
                location /forum/internal_data {
                        location ~ \.(data|html|php)$ {
                                internal;
                        }
                        internal;
                }
                location /forum/library {
                        location ~ \.(default|html|php|txt|xml)$ {
                                internal;
                        }
                        internal;
                }
        }

How would I need to modify this for my site as I will be converting over this weekend.

I am on NGINX and my current vBulletin setup is in the document root, however my new XenForo install will be in /xen/

I want to make sure my highly indexed friendly URL's from vBulletin take you to the correct threads in XenForo.

Thanks guys!
