Can't access categories - Nginx + Nice URLs

Crogic

Hello,

I can't access categories when I click on them.

/categories/general shows me all the categories and it just redirects me to the same page when I click on one.

Nginx Conf:

server {
  server_name ******.com;
  listen 80;
  root /var/www/html;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/****.com.access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/*****.com.error.log;
  index index.php;

  location ~ \.php {
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
#  fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @forum;
  }

  location @forum {
        rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;
  }

  # protect uploads directory
  location ~* /uploads/.*\.(html|htm|shtml|php)$ {
        types { }
        default_type text/plain;
  }

  # Keep nosy people from deciphering categories by number
  location ~* /categories/([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$ {
        return 404;
  }

  # Deny, drop, or internal locations
    location ~ /\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
    location ~ ~$ { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
    location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location ^~ favicon { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location ^~ /conf/ { internal; }

  location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
    access_log off;
    expires max;
  }
  #location ~ /\.ht {
  #  deny  all;
  #}

}

This is the nginx server conf I use:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root ***/public_html;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name ***.com www.***.com;
        autoindex off;

        # Error handling
        error_page 404 /dashboard/home/filenotfound;
        error_page 403 =404 /dashboard/home/filenotfound;

        # Root location
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ @forum;
        }

        # Rewrite to prettify the URL and hide the ugly PHP stuff
        location @forum {
                rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;
        }

        # PHP handler
        location ~ \.php {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        }

        # Stop things from executing in the uploads directory
        location ~* ^/uploads/.*.(html|htm|shtml|php)$ {
                types { }
                default_type text/plain;
        }

        # Keep nosey people from discivering categories by number
        location ~* /categories/([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$ {
                return 404;
        }

        # Deny, drop, or internal locations
        location ~ /\\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
        location ~ ~$ { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
        location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
        location ^~ favicon { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
        location ^~ /conf/ { internal; }

        # Taking advantage of browser caching for static stuff
        location ~* \\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|eot|woff|ttf|svg)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
        }
}

I see a few differences between yours and mine, but nothing jumps out at me.

I am not a nginx expert.
