nginx rewrite rules instead Apache mod_rewrite .htacess

We're using nginx web server.
Do anyone know the rewrite rules for nginx web server?

thanks

Thank you Alex, I found it, but don't work for me... (internal server error).
Do you've some suggestion?

Thank you Alex, I've just sent to you the nginx configuration

I'm having the same problem. Can somebody post a working nginx config file?

Here's what I have now:

Code:

server {
        listen  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80;
        server_name test2.mysite.com;
        access_log    /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
        root    /home/mysite/public_html;

      location ~* ^/amember4/.*\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|csv)$ {}
      location ~* ^/amember4/setup/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
      location ~* ^/amember4/js.php { try_files not-exiting-file @php; }
      location ~* ^/amember4/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
      location ~* ^/amember4/public.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }

      location ~* ^/amember4/public { rewrite ^.*$ /amember4/public.php; }
      location ~* ^/amember4/setup { rewrite ^.*$ /amember4/setup/index.php; }
      location ~* ^/amember4 { rewrite ^.*$ /amember4/index.php; }

      location ~ \.php$ {
          try_files not-existing-file @php;
      }

      location @php {
          fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        include fastcgi_params;
      }

}

I get 500 errors on /amember4/index.php . Here's clue from the nginx error log.

Code:

2012/02/02 12:27:55 [error] 28780#0: *50 open() "/home/mysite/public_html/application/default/views/public/img/top.png" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 64.222.159.2, server: test2.mysite.com, request: "GET /application/default/views/public/img/top.png HTTP/1.1", host: "test2.mysite.com", referrer: "http://test2.mysite.com/amember4/setup"

These errors show it is looking the document root rather than the /amember4/ directory where the files are uploaded.

Did you fix this? Im having the same problem, except mine is looking in /usr/www/ and ive not even told it to! mine is /var/www/nginx-default

No. I never got it working.

The errors weren't being logged on my test server. I haven't had time to go back and troubleshoot it myself yet.

If anyone has a working nginx config, I'd love to see it.

Yeah I got it working yesterday: this is what I have below:

Code:

server {
        listen  80;
        server_name  elearning-mkupdate.co.uk;
        access_log  /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;
  
                root  /var/www/nginx-default;
                index  index.php index.html;

        client_max_body_size 50M;
        client_body_buffer_size 128k;

        location ~* ^/amember/.*\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|csv)$ {}
        location ~* ^/amember/setup/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
        location ~* ^/amember/js.php { try_files not-exiting-file @php; }
        location ~* ^/amember/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
        location ~* ^/amember/public.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }

        location ~* ^/amember/public { rewrite ^.*$ /amember/public.php; }
        location ~* ^/amember/setup { rewrite ^.*$ /amember/setup/index.php; }
        location ~* ^/amember { rewrite ^.*$ /amember/index.php; }

      # location = /50x.html {

      # }

        }

        location @php {

                fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
                include        /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www/nginx-default/$fastcgi_script_name;

        }

        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny  all;
        }

        location /phpmyadmin {
              root /usr/share/;
              index index.php index.html index.htm;
              location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
                      try_files $uri =404;
                      root /usr/share/;
                      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                      fastcgi_index index.php;
                      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                      include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
              }
              location ~* ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
                      root /usr/share/;
              }
        }
        location /phpMyAdmin {
              rewrite ^/* /phpmyadmin last;
        }
 
}

I tried the same rules on nginx, but I still receive "File not found.".
I changed only the directory from "amember" to "members".


Please help :/

I fixed the issue by myself. I have forgot to change the fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME directory.

Sorry!
