Nginx and Wordpress permalink with .php extension

Question

My client's website use Wordpress. The permalink is set to /%postname%.php. See there is .php. So an URL would be look like http://www.example.com/article-url.php. I am using Nginx and PHP-FPM. That permalink setting did not work as I got File not found error.

Here is my Nginx server block

server {
        listen 80;
        root /var/www/html/example.com;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.error.log;
        server_name example.com www.example.com;
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
        }
        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }
}

Here is the error log says FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading re sponse header from upstream ...

How to correct this?

I've found the solution here.. So what I need to do is to add try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; under php location

My server block now:

server {
        listen 80;
        root /var/www/html/example.com;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.error.log;
        server_name example.com www.example.com;
        location / {
                    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
                    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                    fastcgi_index index.php;
                    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                    include fastcgi_params;
                    fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
        }
        location ~ /\.ht {
                    deny all;
        }
}
