I installed BookStack following the steps here: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/installation/#ubuntu-1604

When I access the following site to login:
https://mydomain.net/bookstack/public/login
The pages shows:
File not found.

My nginx log shows me an php error, which I am unable to track down:
2017/02/05 11:50:31 [error] 23703#23703: *169 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.XXX.XXX, server: mydomain.net, request: "GET /bookstack/public/login HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "mydomain.net"
Any idea how to debug?

PHP Version: PHP 7.0.14-2
MySQL Version: 5.5.54-0+deb8u1

Extract of my nginx config:

location /bookstack/ {
root /var/www/bookstack/public;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location ~ ^(.+.php)(.) {
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(.)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

Got it work. I removed the root setting from my location block.
