Ubuntu and nginx problems

[Joveice]

So I have a few problems with ubuntu and nginx.

First of I'm no longer allowed to upload files with ftp (Havent changed a single thing on the server since last I could) "open for write: permission denied"

 

Nginx I want to be able to have access my .php files without downloading them and at etc /index.php > /index

Bump

I fixed the FTP problem, now I'm still stuck at the php problem

[Joveice]

So I can access www.mydomain.com/index.php on www.mydomain.com/. I can access www.mydomain.com/player/index.php on www.mydomain.com/player/. I cannot access www.mydomain.com/player/joveice.php at www.mydomain.com/player/joveice. I can access my www.mydomain.com/player/joveice.php on www.mydomain.com/player/joveice.php.

How can I make it work for files that arent named index.php?

Removing 404 from try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite =404; made it work, why?
