nginx path rewrite

Question

What I'm getting is:

/index.php/rest/item/1

However, it should be going to:

/rest/item/1

How can I rewrite every request from /index.php/rest/ to /rest/ ?

Thanks!

Edit: It seems to only work if I make it a redirect:

rewrite ^/index.php/rest/(.*)$ /rest/$1 permanent;

If I use "break" or "last" it 404's on me, any idea? I'm using Gallery3, which is written on php's Konoha framework.

I've worked with Dmitry the past few weeks on solving this and we finally found out what the problem was. I just needed it it make sure that it doesn't finish when processing the rule. Removing the "last" or "break" from the rule fixes it:

if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/index.php/rest/(.*)$ /rest/$1;
        rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?kohana_uri=$1 last;
}
