转到URL子目录时的CakePHP应用404s

Question

I recently imported a CakePHP project to a new server and am able to load the webroot eg example.com however when I go to example.com/pages/about or example.com/pages/contact I get a 404. I'm using Nginx, which I assume isn't configured correctly because the same CakePHP project is deployed on a different server. (I don't have a great understanding about CakePHP but have used similar PHP MVC frameworks eg Laravel)

 server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; root /home/me/directory/webroot; autoindex off; index index.php; server_name _; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } location ~ \\.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; } } 

I'm wondering what isn't configured correctly that causes any non-root-uris to 404.

Per the comment to my question, changing

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

...to...

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

...did the trick.
