How to properly set up rewrite in nginx for slim to work?
url parameters do not work,
for example, it works without parameters

$app->get('/', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    $response->write("Welcome to Slim!");
    return $response;
});

but no parameters

$app->get('/hello[/{name}]', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    $response->write("Hello, " . $args['name']);
    return $response;
})->setArgument('name', 'World!');

        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
