Rewrite and try_files in Nginx

Looking at the Yii documentation today, we found that the recommended Nginx configuration parameters are:

Location/{

# Redirect everything that isn ' t a real file to index.php

Try_files $uri $uri//index.php$is_args$args;

}

Location ~ \.php$ {

Include Fastcgi_params;

Fastcgi_param script_filename $document _root$fastcgi_script_name;

Fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

#fastcgi_pass Unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

Try_files $uri = 404;

}

My local use of the original parameter configuration or: Rewrite ^/(. *) $/index.php/$1 last;

Rewrite is an Apache-like configuration

The configuration here is also easier to understand, but why is the official recommendation to recommend Try_files?

Finally I found an answer: Nginx is generally used in conjunction with FPM,

If you use rewrite to redirect all files and send them to php-fpm including static files, this configuration is not recommended now.
