nginx / php-fpm virtual host for magento 2 - magento

Question

i am struggling to get my virtual host working with magento2.
Can anyone help?
server {
listen 80;
server_name local.magento2.com;
root /home/www/magento2/;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
location / {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ #handler; ## If missing pass the URI to Magento's front handler
expires off; ## Assume all files are cachable
}
location #handler { ## Magento uses a common front handler
rewrite / /index.php;
}
location /pub/static {
rewrite ^/pub/static/(.*)$ /pub/static.php?resource=$1? last;
}
# Foward php request to FastCGI server.
location ~ \.php$ {
#if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite / /index.php last; } ## Catch 404s that try_files miss
fastcgi_pass php5-fpm-sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param HTTPS off;
}
}

Here is what seems to be an official magento2 nginx configuration.
upstream fpm_backend {
server 127.0.0.1:9000; # backend server:port address
}
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name magento.lan www.magento.lan;
root /var/www/magento2; # document root, path to directory with files
index index.html index.php;
autoindex off; # we don’t want users to see files in directories
location ~ (^/(app/\|includes/\|lib/\|/pkginfo/\|var/\|report/config.xml)\|/\.svn/\|/\.git/\|/.hta.+) {
deny all; #ensure sensitive files are not accessible
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; # make index.php handle requests for /
access_log off; # do not log access to static files
expires max; # cache static files aggressively
}
location \~\* \.(jpeg\|jpg\|gif\|png\|css\|js\|ico\|swf)$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ #proxy; # look for static files in root directory and
ask backend if not successful
expires max;
access_log off;
}
location #proxy {
fastcgi_pass fpm_backend; # proxy everything from this location to backend
}
location \~\.php$ {
try_files $uri =404; # if reference to php executable is invalid return 404
expires off; # no need to cache php executable files
fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
fastcgi_pass fpm_backend; # proxy all requests for dynamic content to
# backend configured in upstream.conf
fastcgi_keep_conn on; # use persistent connects to backend
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root${fastcgi_script_name};
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE default; # Store code is defined in
#administration > Configuration > Manage Stores
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE store;
}
}
