magento custom admin url redirects to homepage - redirect

Question

We just moved to another server, we are using Nginx as webservice
and we are using custom admin url for magento 1.9 like admin.domain.com
I can access magento admin through this url: https://admin.domain.com/index.php/admin
so is there anyway I can access it using this url only admin.domain.com
here it's my nginx config
server {
listen 888.888.888.888:80;
server_name domain.com *.domain.com www.domain.com;
root /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/domain.com.log combined;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/domain.com.bytes bytes;
error_log /var/log/nginx/domains/domain.com.error.log error;

Here is what you need to do:
Create two exact servers
Make sure that your files are sync'd (root
/var/www/vhosts/example.com;)
Your admin server will become your master and you can use Lsync to
make sure they are always sync'd
Domain admin.example.com will have one IP and your production server
will have another Ip address
You nginx config files can be identical.
In Magento you will choose custom url for admin and point that URL
To your new admin server
Any files changes and uploads will go to Admin and will get sync'd
to your slave server via the Lsync process.
You can run Redis through ElastiCache or simply run it on the admin
server
You should use RDS for your database server
Store sessions and cache in REDIS
DO NOT SYNC YOUR VAR FOLDER
