The CiviMail component of CiviCRM does not record opens/clicks. It normally tracks opens by going to sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/open.php, but when I try to browse directly to that location I get a 403 Forbidden. I'm guessing the CiviCRM API is also blocked, since it lives in this /extern/ folder.

I resolved this by creating a file at nginx_vhost_include.conf in /data/disk/[octopus_user]/config/server_master/nginx/post.d. That file contains the following:

    ###
    ### allow CiviCRM php files (like open.php)
    ###
    location ~* ^/sites/.*/(?:modules)/(civicrm)/.*\.php$ {
        access_log     off;
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000; ### php-fpm listening on port 9000
    }

Then in shell ran service nginx restart.

Now Civimail click and open tracking appears to work.

Perfect. We need to add this exception to the main config, since we support CiviCRM now officially (in HEAD, but still..)
