nginx - codeigniter 404 error for all urls - php

Question

I have uploaded my files(Codeigniter Framework) in abcd directory ( url : example.com/abcd ) . All the links inside give 404 error . For removing index.php, I have placed this nginx.conf file in my root directory ( on server : /.../abcd/)
Here is the code for the nginx.conf file :
server {
server_name example.com/abcd;
root /..../abcd;
index index.html index.php index.htm;
# set expiration of assets to MAX for caching
location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
# Check if a file exists, or route it to index.php.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass example.com/abcd;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
In apache, it was easy using rewrite, i am now stuck with nginx. Please help, I am using nginx for the first time
