Nginx - rewrite or internal redirection cycle - php

Question

Im using nginx with a very simple configuration, it works for all php sites in the subdirs of /usr/share/nginx/www/.
But now id like to make a new project in a subdirectory with rewrite rules.
So i decide to make a .conf for this beside the default.
But the rewriting is not working cause of the error "rewrite or internal redirection cycle".
default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
# listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
location /doc/ {
alias /usr/share/doc/;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
# fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
# With php5-cgi alone:
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
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;
}
location ~ /\. {
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
deny all;
}
}
newproject.conf
# nginx configuration
autoindex off;
location /newproject/ {
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/newproject/(.+)$ /newproject/index.php?url=$1 break;
}
}

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
This part about fall back to 404 is wrong. Probably you have missed =404 here, which resulted in redirection cycle (it redirects to /index.html again and again).
Please note from the documentation:
If none of the files were found, an internal redirect to the uri specified in the last parameter is made.
