Nginx, prioritize folders instead of "Location /"

Question

I use PHP with the Phalcon framework in my projects and this is the structure.

My Nginx is like this:

server {
    listen   80;

    server_name 123.123.123.123;
    root /var/www/meusite.com.br;

    location @site{
        rewrite ^/public(.+)$ /public/index.php?_url=$1 last;
    }

    location / {
        index index.php;
        if ($uri !~ ^/public) {
            rewrite ^(.*)$ /public$1;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/ @site;

        location ~* ^/(css|img|js|flv|swf|download)/(.+)$ {
            root /var/www/meusite.com.br/public;
        }
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        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 ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

}

It is working fine, only now when an internal folder is requested, I need Nginx to ignore all "Location /" and execute the same commands of "Location /" but inside the requested folder. For example /v2/.

How do I do that? I’ve tried it in many ways. I’ve already Google it. Anyway, my biggest problem is because Phalcon uses a different folder structure than usual.

Nginx works top to bottom configuration order, that is to summarize you have to put the Location of the folder you want to access above Location / or you inserted a rewrite inside the Location ordme from top to bottom.

Example:

server {
listen   80;

server_name 123.123.123.123;
root /var/www/meusite.com.br;

location @site{
    rewrite ^/public(.+)$ /public/index.php?_url=$1 last;
}

location /pastaserchecadaprimeiro {
  root /var/www/html/pastaserchecadaprimeiro;
}

location / {
    index index.php;
    if ($uri !~ ^/public) {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /public$1;
    }
    try_files $uri $uri/ @site;

    location ~* ^/(css|img|js|flv|swf|download)/(.+)$ {
        root /var/www/meusite.com.br/public;
    }
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    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 ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
}

}
