How to add multiple locations in nginx?

Question

Nginx

I decided to move the project from Apache to Nginx, but there were problems with several locations, before moving the rules to htaccess were as follows:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^js/(.*) compress/js.php?load=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*) compress/css.php?load=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$  [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php [QSA,L]

After transferring to Nginx, the config is as follows:

server {
  server_name dev.test.ru www.dev.test.ru;
  charset UTF-8;
  index index.html index.php;
  disable_symlinks if_not_owner from=$root_path;
  include /etc/nginx/vhosts-includes/*.conf;
  include /etc/nginx/vhosts-resources/dev.test.ru/*.conf;
  access_log /var/www/httpd-logs/dev.test.ru.access.log;
  error_log /var/www/httpd-logs/dev.test.ru.error.log notice;
  ssi on;
  set $root_path /var/www/www-root/data/www/dev.test.ru;
  root $root_path;
  
  location / {
    location ~ [^/]\.ph(p\d*|tml)$ {
    try_files /does_not_exists @php;
    }
    
    location /js {
      rewrite ^/js/(.*) /compress/js.php?load=$1 break;
    }
    
    location /css {
      rewrite ^/css/(.*) /compress/css.php?load=$1 break;
    }

    location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; # permalinks
    }
    }
  
  listen 12.12.12.38:80;
  location @php {
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE "sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [e-mail]";
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/php-fpm/www-root.sock;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^((?U).+\.ph(?:p\d*|tml))(/?.+)$;
    try_files $uri =404;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }
}
server {
  server_name dev.test.ru www.dev.test.ru;
  ssl on;
  ssl_certificate "/var/www/httpd-cert/www-root/dev.test.ru.crt";
  ssl_certificate_key "/var/www/httpd-cert/www-root/dev.test.ru.key";

  root $root_path;
  
  location / {
    location ~ [^/]\.ph(p\d*|tml)$ {
    try_files /does_not_exists @php;
    }
    
    location /js {
      rewrite ^/js/(.*) /compress/js.php?load=$1 break;
    }
    
    location /css {
      rewrite ^/css/(.*) /compress/css.php?load=$1 break;
    }
    
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; # permalinks
    }
    }
    
  listen 12.12.12.38:443;
  
  
  
  location @php {
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE "sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [e-mail]";
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/php-fpm/www-root.sock;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^((?U).+\.ph(?:p\d*|tml))(/?.+)$;
    try_files $uri =404;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }
}

But only the CNC of the site works, the rest of the rules output PHP as text, i.e. scripts for JS and CSS compression are not executed as scripts, but are output as text to the browser.
I have already tried different options from examples on the internet, none of them turned out to be started.
Please help me set up several locations in Nginx, here is the last option, which also does not start:

location / {
    location ~ [^/]\.ph(p\d*|tml)$ {
    try_files /does_not_exists @php;
    }
    location /js {
      rewrite ^/js/(.*) /compress/js.php?load=$1 break;
    }
    location /css {
      rewrite ^/css/(.*) /compress/css.php?load=$1 break;
    }
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; # permalinks
    }
}

By the way, the config was generated by ispmanager, I only changed the location block.

Answer 1

The issue is resolved, the service for converting htaccess to config for Nginx helped awww.anilcetin.com

Answer 2

So use try_files. As an example:
rewrite ^/js/(.*) /compress/js.php?load=$1 break; => try_files $uri /compress/js.php?args;
