Xenforo friendly url not working (xenforo)

Hello,

When I try to add the code to make friendly url work for xenforo I am unable to restart nginx.

---

Here is the code added:

Code:

nginx: [emerg] "location" directive is not allowed here in /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf:1

What can I do to fix this? Thank you.

 

ok i think i fixed it now, I diddn't copy your edits properly

Edit: I can restart fine now but I still get 404 when using friendly url, here is my config

Code:

# redirect from non-www to www
# uncomment, save file and restart Nginx to enable
#server {
#            listen   80;
#            server_name mydomain.com;
#            return 301 $scheme://www.mydomain.com$request_uri;
#       }

server {
  server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;

# ngx_pagespeed & ngx_pagespeed handler
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedhandler.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedstatslog.conf;

  # limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;
  # ssi  on;

            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;    
        }

        location /forum/internal_data/ {
        internal;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
        }

        location /forum/library/ {
        internal;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
        }

  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
  #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
}

# block common exploits, sql injections etc
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/block.conf;

  # Enables directory listings when index file not found
  #autoindex  on;

  # Shows file listing times as local time
  #autoindex_localtime on;

  # Enable for vBulletin usage WITHOUT vbSEO installed
  #try_files        $uri $uri/ /index.php;
