scripts php da pasta-raiz não executados no nginx

Question

nginx com o php-fpm no servidor do Ubuntu 12.04.

A tentativa de acessar /var/www/test.php (via link ) faz o download do script em vez de executá-lo.

se eu colocar o test.php em um subdiretório, ou seja, /var/www/test/test.php ele será executado.

root.conf;

root /var/www;

include php-fpm.conf;

location ~ /\. {
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
        deny all;
}

php-fpm.conf;

location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.socket;
        include        fastcgi_params;
}
