nginx rewrites?

[dartho]

I only have nginx servers. In saying this, I should probably have learnt how to do this myself by now, but has anyone worked out rewrites for NGINX to allow VB5 to work?

Thanks!

Rewrites can go into the server{} section of your nginx configuration. A quick read of this page will help you figure out how to translate mod_rewrite directives to nginx's HTTP rewrite module syntax.

I did have a go before posting - came up with:

location / {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?routestring=$1 break;
}
rewrite ^/(admincp/)$ /index.php?routestring=$1 break;
}

But this doesn't work for me, and I could find variations that worked either...

dartho - give me a couple of days. Fair number of new concepts to figure out before I can tackle nginx.

The IIS7 ruleset seems to be easier to grasp rather than wade through several .htaccess files in the apache2 sub-folders.

There is an open Bug regarding Nginx rules - some of what's in there may be helpful:

Excellent! Should be a good starting point.

Please comment in the bug that you're an nginx user and want to see support for it

Thanks for the replies. VotedA in the tracker, there are some good comments there that should help me get running also.
