Can't run mod_rewrite with Phalcon application - mod-rewrite

Question

I use Ubuntu and nginx 1.6.2. I can't run Phalcon application because it uses mod_rewrite rules, but in manual I couldn't find nginx rules, only Apache. Here's my configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name invo;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
set $root_path '/home/me/invo/public';
root $root_path;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
# These rules doesn't work
rewrite ^/$ /public/ break;
rewrite ^(.*)$ /public/$1 break;
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?_url=/$1 break;
}
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~* ^/(css|img|js|flv|swf|download)/(.+)$ {
root $root_path;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
I commented three rules that doesn't work for me. All the time I open http: //invo/cat/index http: //invo/something I always see the main page.
Here's the Phalcon rules for Apache:
# /invo/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
# /invo/public/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?_url=/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Here's my result working config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name invo;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
set $root_path '/home/me/invo/public';
root $root_path;
try_files $uri $uri/ #rewrite;
location #rewrite {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?_url=/$1;
}
location ~ \.php {
fastcgi_index /index.php;
# The difference from Phalcon manual in this line
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
# Comment out this line too
#fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ~* ^/(css|img|js|flv|swf|download)/(.+)$ {
root $root_path;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
