SEO friendly URL (Permalinks) not working for WordPress on NGINX

We have wordpress installedin a subdirectory on our NGINX server. We want our blog URL to look something like www.example.com/blog. Individual blog posts urls should be like www.example.com/blog/post-name. For this when we go to setting->permalinks menu in wordpress and change it to Post Name from Default, it starts giving error. But it works just fine when we leave it default (www.example.com/blog/?p=123).
Blog directory is installed under html folder in nginx.
We’ve made following entry in nginx.conf file:

location /blog {

root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

location ~ .php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}

blog directory is installed at same level as the folder for our main site (example.com).
What are we doing wrong?

    Try this,

    location /blog/ {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php?$args;
}

    Had a similar issue and I added this in my nginx conf to make it work for wordpress /index.php/permalink urls in nginx hhvm 3.21

    Adding this for everyone’s reference:

    location / {

    ...
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php$fastcgi_script_name;


}

    or 

    location / {

    rewrite ^/([^.]+)$ /index.php/$1 break;

}

    Ensure you are using a fastcgi and not a server version (in server version you may get too many redirects due to rewrite)
