Webservice doens't working on fresh install - prestashop

Question

After performing a fresh install of Prestashop ( v 1.6.0.9 ) i've encountered some problems about making the webservice feature avaliable.
I have set the key and i'm able to check the ws's avaliable using the url
http://example.com/webservice/dispatcher.php?ws_key=my_key
And 3 of the relevant result's are:
http://example.com/api/employees?schema=synopsis
http://example.com/api/employees
http://example.com/api/employees?schema=blank
So, testing the links above,i receive the message This page is not available right into my face, i'm not sure why this behaviour.
For aditional information, i followed the steps on the Web Service Tutorial where i downloaded the PSWebServiceLibrary.php file into my root folder, i also created a test file with the content:
<?php
/**
* Created by PhpStorm.
* User: thales.pereira
* Date: 05/01/15
* Time: 16:10
*/
require_once( './PSWebServiceLibrary.php' );
$shop_url="http://localhost";
$secret_key="the_key";
$debug=false;
try {
$webService = new PrestaShopWebservice($shop_url, $secret_key, $debug);
$opt['resource'] = 'customers?schema=synopsis';
$xml = $webService->get($opt);
echo $xml;
}
catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $ex) {
echo 'Other error: <br />' . $ex->getMessage();
}
But well.. the result was:
Other error:
This call to PrestaShop Web Services failed and returned an HTTP status of 404.
That means: Not Found.
For this dev environment, i'm using MAMP Version 3.0.7.3

The main problem was with nginx regex rules.
Here is what is currently working for me:
server {
listen 80;
server_name 127.0.0.1;
access_log /var/log/nginx/prestashop.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/prestashop.error.log;
root /var/www/prestashop;
if ($http_host != "127.0.0.1") {
rewrite ^ http://127.0.0.1$request_uri permanent;
}
index index.php index.html;
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location = /robots.txt {
allow all;
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
# Deny all attempts to access hidden files such as .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store (Mac).
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
