I tried to install vimbadmin in to subfolder, but i can't. No matter what configuration i use, vimbadmin never work. This is my last configuration

# vimbadmin
location /vimbadmin {
    alias /usr/share/vimbadmin/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    location ~ ^/vimbadmin/(.*\.(js|css|gif|jpg|png|ico))$ {
        alias /usr/share/vimbadmin/public/$1;
    }
}

but nginx return me Error: 403 - 

*14 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 90.154.205.85, server: mail.devx.biz, request: "GET /vimbadmin/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "mail.example.com"

I could not imagine how hard it is.Here is original nginx confiration whick work perfectly on domain/subdomain.

Can you help me with some advices, or example configuration for do that?

Use nginx 1.6.2 with php5-fpm.

    You need to give some more infomation about your setup. Please post the full VHOST.

    Something like that. For few days, i really think nginx can't handle multiple location blocks with different root/alias directive :)

Problem is that in your VHOST you define SCRIPT_FILENAME as $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; but you then use the alias direcive to set the path.

Please try to update line 49 to this:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;

    I update with my last, last nginx configuration, becouse old one is little different.
    With this correction, nginx return me error 404.

    Today, is a day :)
    I tried again properly setup my nginx configuration and it's worked.
    Thanks a lot @CrypticDesigns for the answer.

    This is my final configuration

    location ^~ /vimbadmin {
        alias /usr/share/vimbadmin/public;
        try_files $uri $uri/ @vimbadmin;
        location ~* \.php {
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
        }
    }

    location @vimbadmin {
        rewrite ^/vimbadmin/(.*)$ /vimbadmin/index.php?$1 last; # THIS IS THE IMPORTANT LINE
    }
