It looks like there is a typo on your fastcgi_param line. It should be:

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

Magento uses a fairly standard LEMP stack. This tutorial should help you get up and running:

How To Install Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP (LEMP) stack on Ubuntu 14.04

If you’re still running into issues after that, check for any messages in your Nginx and PHP error logs:

/var/log/nginx/error.log
/var/log/php5-fpm.log
