hi i tried your config, but i see only a blank page.. i know the issue is into php... i amusing this as php block
location = /index.php {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
include fastcgi_params;

nvm i fixed it but now i cant login... gallery seem to work

Did you ever manage to login again? Because I cannot...

After years (literally!) of nightmares, I finally found out what was wrong with my configuration...

You have to change this on config.php:

$config["index_page"]=""

... or else, Gallery3 will not work under nginx. Duh! So simple...

Here's the reference (which also cites this very same gist): http://jonamiller.com/2015/02/15/gallery3-on-nginx/

Kudos to @jonmiller for having found a working solution. Gallery3 is now purring like a kitty under PHP 7.4, and soon (hopefully) under 8.0 as well!
