Nginx working Rewrite Rules

[Bruno.GJ]

location / {
if (-f $request_filename/index.html){
                rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;
        }
if (-f $request_filename/index.php){
                rewrite (.*) $1/index.php;
        }
if (!-f $request_filename){
                rewrite (.*) /index.php;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php;
}
 
location /admin {
                try_files $uri /admin/index.php?$args;
        }

I hope they work for you too, I used nginx 1.0.10 + php-fpm
cheers 😀

The admin area working as it should, the api works and let me upload remotely with a firefox addon.

 

[Bruno.GJ]

confirmed to work on nginx 1.2.2 🙂
thanks for the like Rodolfo!

This is my Full domain setup, ofcourse adapt it for your own!

server
    {
        listen      80;
        server_name yourdomain.org www.yourdomain .org;
        index index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm default.php;
        root  /home/wwwroot/www.yourdomain.org;
 
        if ($host = 'www.yourdomain.org' ) {
        rewrite  ^/(.*)$  http://yourdomain.org/$1  permanent;
        }     
     
        location / {
        if (-f $request_filename/index.html){
                rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;
        }
        if (-f $request_filename/index.php){
                rewrite (.*) $1/index.php;
        }
        if (!-f $request_filename){
                rewrite (.*) /index.php;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php;
        }
 
        location /admin {
        try_files $uri /admin/index.php?$args;
        }
 
      location ~ .*\.(php|php5)?$
            {
                fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fcgi.conf;
            }
 
        location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|swf)$
            {
                expires      8d;
            }
 
        location ~ .*\.(js|css)?$
            {
                expires      8d;
            }
 
        #log_format  www.yourdomain.org  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $request '
        #    '$status $body_bytes_sent $http_referer '
        #    '$http_user_agent $http_x_forwarded_for';
        #access_log  /home/wwwlogs/www.yourdomain.log  www.yourdomain.org;
    }

I disabled the logs, just for testing purposes.
I hope this will help someone 🙂

With this the api was not working for me.

I removed

try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php;

And used:

        location /api {
        try_files $uri /api.php?$args;
        }

 

[Gunz]

I need this rewrite:

RewriteRule ^images/(\w*\.)(jpg|png|gif)$ images/old/$1$2 [L] #legacy images

 

[bubbl3]

I need this rewrite:

RewriteRule ^images/(\w*\.)(jpg|png|gif)$ images/old/$1$2 [L] #legacy images

Try this:

rewrite ^/images/(w*.)(jpg|png|gif)$ /images/old/$1$2 last;

 

[Gunz]

Try this:

rewrite ^/images/(w*.)(jpg|png|gif)$ /images/old/$1$2 last;

tested, It didn't work.

 

[sbucket]

I was able to convert the urls for the legacy images with this converter. http://www.anilcetin.com/convert-apache-htaccess-to-nginx/

Just in case someone still needs it.

The above by Bruno didn't work for me as it resulted in a 'redirect loop' error.

This worked for me:

server
    {
        listen 80;
        server_name example.com www.example.com;
        root  /usr/share/nginx/www/chevereto;
 
        if ($host = 'example.com' ) {
        rewrite  ^/(.*)$  http://www.example.com/$1  permanent;
        }
 
        location /
        {
        index index.html index.htm index.php;
 
        if (!-e $request_filename)
        {rewrite (.*) /index.php last;}
 
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        }
 
 
        location ~ .*\.(php|php5)?$
        {
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock; #change to fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000 if you don't have this enabled in [SIZE=14px][FONT=Ubuntu Mono][COLOR=#222222]/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        }
 
        location /admin {
        try_files $uri /admin/index.php?$args;
        }
 
 
        location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|swf)$
            {
                expires      8d;
            }
 
        location ~ .*\.(js|css)?$
            {
                expires      8d;
            }
 
 
}

Some notes:
1. please change example.com to your domain
2. The root address might be different for your site
3. I'm using php5-fpm.sock. If you are not, change it to fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000

I'm on Amazon EC2 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) Nginx (1.1.19) + php5-fpm + APC.
If you are on the same setup, your for NGINX should be 1.1.19 if you package it from apt-get.

I'm still testing it out but everything seems okay for now. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Cheers~

when I change nginx rules to
Code:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php;
}
I got this:

{"status_code":403,"status_txt":"Invalid API key"}​

when I change nginx rules to
Code:
location /api {
try_files $uri /api.php?$args;
}
I got a 404 page.

http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil

location / {
    index index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}

location /admin {
    try_files $uri /admin/index.php?$args;
}

location /api {
    try_files $uri /api.php?$args;
}

location ~ includes {
    internal;
    return 404;
}

location ~ \.(bmp|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
    try_files $uri /content/system/img/404.gif;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    ...
}

 

[Guneyd]

Do these work on 3.0.0 too?

 

[Rodolfo]

They should work. You only need index rule and files rules.

Chevereto 3 rewrite rules

    location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }
    location ~ ^/(images)/ {
    try_files $uri /content/system/404.gif;
    expires 1y;
    add_header    Pragma public;
    add_header  Cache-Control public;
    add_header  Last-Modified "";
    add_header  ETag "";
    break;
}

 

[Guneyd]

Thank you vlaur. I got it working by using the rewrite rules of Pavel_M, but I'll give yours a shot as well 😉.

 

[TriHoang]

Thank you vlaur! Work perfectly.

 

[Guneyd]

For those who might have read my previous post, go with vlaur's rewrite rules for Chev v3, the other ones don't work properly.

 

[thrill]

thanks vlaur, this one work for me...

I've tried a several iterations of this nginx rewrite rules and I get a system error page stating it can't find the root .htaccess file. I'd appreciate some assistance getting the correct nginx config. Thanks in advance!

server
{
listen 80;
server_name imgscrap.com www.imgscrap.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;

if ($host = 'imgscrap.com' ) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.imgscrap.com/$1 permanent;
}

# location /
# {
# index index.html index.htm index.php;
#
# if (!-e $request_filename)
# {rewrite (.*) /index.php last;}
#
# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
# }

location ~ .*\.(php|php5)?$
{
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

location /admin {
try_files $uri /admin/index.php?$args;
}


location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|swf)$
{
expires 8d;
}

location ~ .*\.(js|css)?$
{
expires 8d;
}

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ ^/(images)/ {
try_files $uri /content/system/404.gif;
expires 1y;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control public;
add_header Last-Modified "";
add_header ETag "";
break;
}
}

Check this https://chevereto.com/docs/requirements

I've looked at this several times and tried setting up my config several different ways. Having a full example is your documentation would be greatly appreciated for noobs.
