If you want to use Nginx, these rewrite rules will help you.

[imgsco]

Not sure if this is applicable to every instance of Nginx but I have just setup http://imgs.co on a Nginx server to speed things up. Since Nginx doesn't support .htaccess rewrite rules, you'll need to edit your nginx.conf file to tell Nginx how to behave.

Step 1: Open nginx.conf in the editor of your choice (vi / nano)

Step 2:

Find:

location / {
        index index.html index.php;

Then add below it the following...

        server_tokens off;
        if ($host ~* ^www\.(.*))
        {
            set $host_without_www $1;
            rewrite ^/(.*)$ $scheme://$host_without_www/$1 permanent;
        }
        if (!-e $request_filename)
        {
            rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
        }

Step 3: Restart Nginx

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

Now chevereto page URLs like: yoursite.com/blog will work!


If anyone is interested, I can write a guide on how to setup a Nginx server with Chevereto. Better yet, I can possibly create a free bash script that will automate *most* of the process for those of you who have a VPS or hosting account with SSH access. I'm bored and would be happy to contribute to Chevereto if possible 😉

Thanks, I will stick this and also put it on the docs 😀

I would love a script/comprehensive guide. I just got booted from my shared server to a VPS by my host and I've decided to use nginx on the VPS to reduce the memory load. I'm definitely not a server whiz and would like all the help I can get.

Thanks!
