laravel inner pages are not working on AWS EC2 Nginx

Question

I am working on a laravel V5.1.11 site which is hosted on AWS EC2 ubuntu with ngnix server. I successfully setup the site but my inner page are not working.

Config is:

server {
  listen 82;
  server_name www.example.com;
  return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 83;
    server_name www.example.com;
    root /home/in4matic/example-website-dev/public;



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

    }


    location ~* \.php$ {
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        #fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        #fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root/index.php;
        #fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;

    }
}

How can I fix that.

Moving laravel app from apache to nginx doesn't require many modification, but because laravel uses .htaccess file for url rewrite which won't work in nginx, you have to modify nginx config file so nginx can rewrite url. here is the example of my config file :

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  your-website.com;

    # note that these lines are originally from the "location /" block
    root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000 # Keep this as per your old config;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

}

I have been using this config for all of my laravel app.

and make sure that Storage directory has proper permission.
