Where to place NGINX host configuration file? - nginx

Question

I've used WINGINX to install NGINX, PHP-FPM, MySQL, MongoDB, NodeJS and MemcacheD on my Windows machine.
In the Yii Framework documentation I've found the following host configuration code:
server {
set $host_path "/www/mysite";
access_log /www/mysite/log/access.log main;
server_name mysite;
root $host_path/htdocs;
set $yii_bootstrap "index.php";
charset utf-8;
location / {
index index.html $yii_bootstrap;
try_files $uri $uri/ $yii_bootstrap?$args;
}
location ~ ^/(protected|framework|themes/\w+/views) {
deny all;
}
#avoid processing of calls to unexisting static files by yii
location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
#let yii catch the calls to unexising PHP files
set $fsn /$yii_bootstrap;
if (-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name){
set $fsn $fastcgi_script_name;
}
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fsn;
#PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED can be omitted, but RFC 3875 specifies them for CGI
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fsn;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Where do I need to store this code?
I've used the hosteditor to create: http://project.loc, and the file: index.php is displayed correctly (located at: /winginx/home/project.loc/pubic_html).
I tried placing the code several directoires:
/winginx/conf
/winginx/conf/vhosts
/winginx/home/project.loc
..but non of it worked.

The Wingix Documentation explains how to do this:
you should create in the winginx\conf\vhosts folder a separate config
file named to domain name plus .conf, e.g. mysite.local.conf.
After the config is added or edited, you should restart Winginx,
double-click start-winginx.exe.
If something goes wrong after these manipulates, please read
