I've been trying to setup clean URLs on a Wordpress 2.1.2 install. I've read over this thread ( http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/637 ) and essentially that is what I have with the exception that I do not run a WordPress MU install.

The redirects for posts appear to work, however if I for example go to /wp-admin/ I will be redirected to index.php with a 404 error, the stylesheet and images do not load.

The install can be found at http://208.85.75.72 if you want to see the results
live.

The domain is still not forwarded until I get a few more things taken care of so I am using the IP for access for now.

I've attached the nginx.conf file below any input would be fantastic. Thanks.
