Question

I have an .htaccess file that I’m trying to convert so it can be run on my Nginx server.

I’m having two primary problems:

1. I’m not sure how to convert some lines

2. I don’t know where to put the Nginx configuration code

Here are the lines I’m having issues converting:

 Options All -Indexes

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page_request=$1 [QSA,L]

I’ve tried some online converters, but they don’t seem to be working.

Also, once I’ve converted the lines, where do I put them? I assume I need to place them in the mysite.conf file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/, but within that file, do I just put them within the server {} block?

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me.

Edit: Here’s the conf file

 server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;
    server_name www.subdomain.domain.tld subdomain.domain.tld;
    access_log /var/log/subdomain.domain.tld.log;

    location / {
        root /srv/www/subdomain.domain.tld/public_html;
        index index.html index.php;
        }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/subdomain.domain.tld/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
        }

       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?page_request=$uri;
}

UPDATE

Doing some nginx research, came across this, give this a shot and see if it works as you expect:

location / {
    # other code below this line
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?page_request=$uri;
}

Basically the try_files is the if statement, it tries the regular file first, if it cannot find it, it tries it as a directory, if it cannot find that it sends it to the last argument.

Have you tried using a service like: http://www.anilcetin.com/convert-apache-htaccess-to-nginx/

It outputs:

#ignored: condition 0
#ignored: condition 1
if ($rule_0 = "2"){
rewrite /RewriteRule ^/(.*)$;
}

For the data you provided.

Where you put them is inside the:

server {

}

Since this is not for a specific location you would just put it after the default stuff. There is order of operations to be had, so yea. It can be inside of a location, if you have more than one location type bit. For nginx, I would probably put this under the .php location definition.
