Setting up rutorrent and owncloud on nginx - php

Question

I searched in the entire web but apparently none has published the configuration I'm looking for.
I'm currently testing on a VM what I'd like to be my server config, the 3 apps I'll install are rutorrent, web interface for rtorrent, owncloud and plex, 2 of these are configured with nginx but somehow my configuration doesn't work. I created 2 virtual servers one named rutorrent, the other owncloud, my idea would be to access these with serverip/rutorrent and serverip/owncloud, separating the 2. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, my rutorrent and owncloud folders are into /var/www, my php version is 5.5.9-1.
The current problem is that the rutorrent config works if it's the only one enabled, but it doesn't if the owncloud is enabled too, moreover, the owncloud alone doesn't work. With a stock owncloud config from their manual the owncloud works but the rutorrent returns a file not foundpage.
Here are my server files from /etc/nginx/sites-available which I have linked to the enableddirectory:
upstream php-handler {
#server 127.0.0.1:9000;
server unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name 192.168.61.128;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; # enforce https
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name 192.168.61.128;
ssl on;

ssl_certificate_key /srv/ssl/nginx.key;

}

}

rewrite ^(/owncloud/core/doc/[^\/]+/)$ $1/index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ index.php;
location ~ ^/owncloud/(.+?\.php)(?:$|/) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
set $path_info $fastcgi_path_info;
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /owncloud/Â$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass php-handler;
}
}
# Optional: set long EXPIRES header on static assets
location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|ico|png|css|js|swf)$ {
expires 30d;
# Optional: Don't log access to assets
access_log off;
}
}
It's as close as possible to the official owncloud configuration but I get 404 error when I load the page.
The rutorrent config is as follows, it has both normal and ssl config because I tried changing stuff on the normal one without touching the ssl that works:
server {
listen 80;
server_name 192.168.61.128;
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
#location / {
# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
#}
location /rutorrent {
auth_basic "rutorrent";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/rutorrent/.htpasswd;
}
location /RPC2 {
include scgi_params;
scgi_pass localhost:5000;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
#fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
#fastcgi_ignore_client_abort off;
#fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
#fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
#fastcgi_read_timeout 180;

#fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
#fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
#fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name 192.168.61.128;
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /srv/ssl/nginx.crt; #server.crt
ssl_certificate_key /srv/ssl/nginx.key; #server.key
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES";
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /rutorrent {
auth_basic "rutorrent";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/rutorrent/.htpasswd;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
#fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
#fastcgi_ignore_client_abort off;
#fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
#fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
#fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
#fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
#fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
#fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
#fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
}
location /RPC2 {
include scgi_params;
scgi_pass localhost:5000;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
And finally my nginx.conf which again is as close as standard as possible.
user www-data;
worker_processes 4;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 768;
# multi_accept on;
}

#passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby;
##

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
I'm quite bad with this stuff, but intuitively it shouldn't be this hard. Thanks for the help.

You're completely right, I modified the configuration putting both location in the same vhost, this is a working result, again mostly adapted from the OwnCloud manual.
upstream php-handler {

There's a lot with this config that could be improved, but your primary issue is that define two server blocks with identical server_name. They won't be merged, if that's what you're expecting, but one is picked, the other isn't.
