程序放在网站根目录下时，配置文件如下

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name simpleforum.org www.simpleforum.org; #你的域名
    root        /path/to/simpleforum/path;  #论坛程序目录
    index       index.php;

    access_log  /path/to/basic/log/access.log;
    error_log   /path/to/basic/log/error.log;

    location / {
        # Redirect everything that isn't a real file to index.php
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$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;
    }

    location ^~ /core/ {
        deny    all;
    }

    #其他配置

}

程序放在网站子目录下时，在Nginx配置文件中加入以下配置

server {
    #其他配置

   #添加Simple Forum配置开始
   #假设论坛程序放在simpleforum子目录下
    location /simpleforum/ {
        # Redirect everything that isn't a real file to index.php
        try_files $uri $uri/ /simpleforum/index.php?$args;
    }

    location ^~ /simpleforum/core/ {
        deny    all;
    }
   #添加Simple Forum配置结束

    #其他配置
}
