Wordperss nginx Configuration Issues

[Porter]

I've been trying to get this to work for some time now, but I'm still running into issues. Here's my setup:

-LEMP (nginx instead of Apache)
-Wordpress installed in it's own directly anightinburlington.com/public_html/wordpress
-Wordpress settings for the installation to be there, and for the site url to just be anightinburlington.com

After many changes to my configuration, I finally got the main page, and all sub-pages to show (anightinburlington.com/bars, for example), but now all of my dashboard pages are broken. I can't sign in, I just get blank white pages. In addition, my image links are broken, and I have no CSS. I'm assuming this is because I changed the nginx config without updating WordPress, but I have no idea really.

anightinburlington.com

Below is the config code in my sites-available directory.

server {
	listen 80 default_server;
	listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

	root /var/www/anightinburlington.com/public_html/wordpress;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	server_name anightinburlington.com www.anightinburlington.com;

	location / {
			# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
			try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
	}

	location ~ \.php$ {
			try_files $uri =404;
			fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
			fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
			fastcgi_index index.php;
			include fastcgi_params;
	}
	
	error_page 404 /404.html;

	# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
	#
	error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
	location = /50x.html {
		root /usr/share/nginx/html;
	}

	# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
	# concurs with nginx's one
	#
	#location ~ /\.ht {
	#	deny all;
	#}
}

Any idea how I can fix the broken site?

I ended up making some blind guesses, and everything is working perfect now. Here's my config:

server {
	listen 80 default_server;
	listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

	root /var/www/anightinburlington.com/public_html;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	server_name anightinburlington.com www.anightinburlington.com;

	location / {
			# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
			try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress$uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
	}

	location ~ \.php$ {
			try_files $uri =404;
			fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
			fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
			fastcgi_index index.php;
			include fastcgi_params;
	}
	
	error_page 404 /404.html;

	# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
	#
	error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
	location = /50x.html {
		root /usr/share/nginx/html;
	}
}

I changed the root back to /var/www/anightinburlington.com/public_html;
Then added the "wordpress" bit below:

try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress$uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;

Everything appears to work 100%, but if anyone could tell me if there's something wrong, that would be great, as I'm basically shooting in the dark (with slightly educated guesses, emphasis on slightly).
