All Laravel routes “not found” on nginx - nginx

Question

Trying to setup Laravel 4.1 installation on a nginx server (first time) and I'm given "not found" for every Laravel route instead of the view expected. The main page loads fine.
Please note, site can only be accessed by IP which is why I have the filler IP 123.123.123.123 for server_name.
