A basic flask FastCGI configuration for nginx looks like this::
location /yourapplication/ {
location = /yourapplication { rewrite ^ /yourapplication/ last; }
location /yourapplication { try_files $uri @yourapplication; }
location @yourapplication {
include fastcgi_params;
if ($uri ~ ^/yourapplication/(.*)?) {
set $path_url $1;
}
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_url;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /yourapplication;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/yourapplication)(.*)$;

This configuration binds the application to `/yourapplication`. If you want
to have it in the URL root it's a bit easier because you don't have to figure
to have it in the URL root it's a bit simpler because you don't have to figure
out how to calculate `PATH_INFO` and `SCRIPT_NAME`::

location / { try_files $uri @yourapplication; }
location @yourapplication {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "";
