Redirect all request to homepage on Ispconfig with nginx

Hi,
I installed last version of ispconfig on Debian Jessie with nginx.
I set up a website that had a forum. The forum has been removed. I would like to redirect every forum/* request to home page.

This nginx directive should be enough:

location ~ ^/forum(.*)$ {
return 301 /;
}

However, if I put ask for http://www.example.com/forum/what-ever.php or anything with *.php, it does not work and it returns a nginx error.
Basically I get the point that *.php is processed before the nginx directive I put on the ispconfig web domain option field.
If I put the code before "location ~ \.php", it works.

Code:

server {
        listen *:80;
        server_name example.com www.example.com;
        root   /var/www/example.com/web;
        index index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml;
        error_log /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com/error.log;
        access_log /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com/access.log combined;
        location ~ /\. {
            deny all;
            access_log off;
            log_not_found off;
        }
        location = /favicon.ico {
            log_not_found off;
            access_log off;
        }
        location = /robots.txt {
            allow all;
            log_not_found off;
            access_log off;
        }
        location /stats/ {
            index index.html index.php;
            auth_basic "Members Only";
            auth_basic_user_file /var/www/clients/client1/web20/web/stats/.htpasswd_stats;
        }
        location ^~ /awstats-icon {
            alias /usr/share/awstats/icon;
        }
        location ~ ^/forum(.*)$ {
            return 301 /;
        }
location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files /3431268c40be0cf8a556c509aafec15c.htm @php;
        }
        location @php {
            try_files $uri =404;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/lib/php5-fpm/web20.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        }

Is it possible to put my directive in this position using ispconfig and not editing manually the example.com.vhost file?
