Yeah it worked like a charm

Edit file /etc/nginx/sites-available/xyz.vhost

and following under index line

index index.html …

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

Hi MARKOVIC.ANDRIJA, It’s seems like you did not configured your server configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available folder properly. Check that you have put try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; instead of try_files $uri $uri/ =404; It will fixed your 404 error hopefully. Thank You M A Kashem CEO Xponent Info System (PVT.)

Guys… work fine but you have to use: try_files, not tryfiles… like code below

location / {
		# First attempt to serve request as file, then
		# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; 
		#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
		# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
		# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
	}
