Nginx seems to be sending files as directories to PHP

[mraymond]

I have Dokku set up and using this buildpack. Browsing to anyphpfile.php/anything/here will result in a 403 error, "Access Denied". I believe this is conflicting with trying to use this rewrite rule.

#Hardcoded URL since it tries to use a port
rewrite ^(.*)index.php(.*)$ http://urltoapp$2    permanent;

I can change it to this

rewrite ^(.*)anythingElse(.*)$ http://urltoapp$2    permanent;

and browsing to /anythingElse/test will redirect to /test.
