Question

Currently I have this piece of code:

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

This works OK for the following:
example.com/foo redirects to index.php

However example.com/foo?bar doesn’t work. How do you make it work?

FWIW: I don’t experience this problem in Apache’s mod_rewrite equivalent. Basically, I moved a site that works from Apache to Nginx. Now I experience this issue.

Edit:

To be clear here’s what I indent to do:

• example.com/foo
• example.com/foo/bar/etc
• example.com/foo?bar
• example.com/foo?bar=quz

Should all serve index.php “silently” without changing the URL of the browser’s address bar.

I just tested it with the following config, and I believe this does want you want:

server {
#listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
#listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

root /home/www/test;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

# Make site accessible from 
server_name test.myhost.nl;

location / {        
    # First attempt to serve request as file, then as directory, then fall back to index.php
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri = 404;

    # Fix for server variables that behave differently under nginx/php-fpm than typically expected
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    # Include the standard fastcgi_params file included with ngingx
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_index index.php;

    # Override the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable set by fastcgi_params
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

    # Pass to upstream PHP-FPM; This must match whater you name your upstream connection
    #fastcgi_pass phpfpm;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}
