Configuring up wordpress blog inside a rails app with nginx

Question

I'm having some issues with my wordpress blog setup. The main page http://server.com/blog/ loads fine, but http://server.com/blog (without the /) doesn't. Also, none of my pretty urls work.

I know I'm missing something obvious. I'd really appreciate some help.

Here's my server's conf

server {
  server_name  www.example.com;
  rewrite   ^  http://example.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {

  listen 80;
  server_name  example.com;

  access_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/access.log;
  error_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/error.log;

  root /srv/www/example.com/application/public;
  passenger_enabled on;



  location /blog {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php?q=$uri&$args;
    include fastcgi_params;

    if ($uri !~ "^/uploads/") {
      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
}
