Question

I’m migrating a website from a server that has Apache web-server to another server that is running Nginx web-server, and I wanted to convert the .htaccess files, the problem is not just the syntax but also the file name, is it also “.htaccess“ or what?

Answer 1

Here’s a tool I use:

http://www.anilcetin.com/convert-apache-htaccess-to-nginx/

It is not 100% accurate but it’s pretty good base

Also, here’s a link about converting the rules:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html

This one can help a little:

EDIT:

The file name should be nginx.conf
