Answer 2

To install and run zabbix PHP frontend under nginx you need to:

1. Install php-fpm:

   yum|apt-get|whatever php-fpm

there can be php components the frontend depends on, but I don't remember which ones. See here.

1. Add a separate server configuration to nginx with fastcgi to php-fpm:

   server {

   server_name  zabbix.your.domain.com;
   
   access_log  /home/tlpls/prtp/logs/access.log  main;
   #IMPORTANT: this is where you look for errors and such
   error_log  /home/tlpls/prtp/logs/error.log debug;
   
   #this is for the static files
   #should point to where your zabbix frontend files are
   location / {
       root   /usr/share/zabbix;
       index  index.php index.html index.htm;
   }
   #and this is what to do with php files
   #same paths probably
   location ~ \.php$ {
       root           /usr/share/zabbix;
       fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9001;
       fastcgi_index  index.php;
       fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/share/zabbix$fastcgi_script_name;
       include        fastcgi_params;
   }
   

   }

True story ^^^^^^

1. Start php-fpm (/etc/init.d/php-fpm start or something) and reload nginx (nginx -s reload or something)

There you go, can't be more complete of a howto, as @StephenKing already said in the comments, it is just a PHP application for which there are tons of explanations how to setup under nginx including the official nginx documentation.
