This configuration is used to access phpmyadmin as a “subfolder” of the domain like:

http://mysite.com/phpmyadmin

The location will be append to the root! For a similar behaviour like the Apache configuration, you could use the “alias” directive

My phpmyadmin installation is under /usr/share/phpmyadmin, thats why I use /usr/share as the root.

server{
...
    location /phpmyadmin{
        root    /usr/share;
        index   index.php;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        set $php_root   $document_root;
            if ($request_uri ~* /phpmyadmin) {
                set $php_root /usr/share;
           }

        fastcgi_pass   unix:/tmp/fastcgi.socket;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $php_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }
}
