Nginx Drupal Rewrite

Ok, I followed a tutorial online and was trying to get rewrite working
on my
server. Well, everything works ok except for my Photo gallery which is
located in | /gallery |. I’ll include my current config for the
domain (wfto.cc and wfto.cc/gallery)

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.waterfortheoppressed.com
waterfortheoppressed.com;

    rewrite ^ http://wfto.cc permanent;

}

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.wfto.cc wfto.cc;

    access_log  /var/www/logs/wfto.cc.access.log;

    location = / {
            root   /var/www/wfto.cc;
            index  index.php index.html index.htm;
    }
    location / {
        root   /var/www/wfto.cc;
        index  index.php index.html;

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

        if (!-d $request_filename) {
            rewrite  ^(.*)$  /index.php?q=$1  last;
            break;
        }
    error_page  404  /index.php;

    # serve static files directly
    location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
          access_log        off;
        expires           30d;
    }
    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
            root   /var/www/nginx-default;
    }

    # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
            #proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
    #}

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/var/www/wfto.cc$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

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

}
}

We’ve got drupal going with a simple try_files $uri $uri/ /path/to/
drupal/index.php?q=$uri&$args;

In nginx 0.7 of course.

0.6.36 too.

Well I should clarify about the gallery. It’s Gallery2, php-driven.

Where is the } that I should fix?

Second, use try_files instead of "if"s.
And third, your gallery probably is served as static files by

     location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {

How does typical URL look ?

Can I just exclude a directory from rewrite?

I suppose I can move the gallery to a subdomain.

“If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer.”

I’m getting the “No input file specified.” But only when there’s no
trailing
slash or file specified.

This works:
http://www.example.com/dir/index.php
http://www.example.com/dir/

This does not work:
http://www.example.com/dir

Any ideas?

K i will attempt to do this in a few minutes. I’ll get back to you
about
the gallery

You do not need rewrite at all:

root   /var/www/wfto.cc;
index  index.php index.html;

location / {
    try_files  $uri  $uri/  /index.php?q=$uri;
}

location /gallery/ {
    try_files  $uri  $uri/  /index.php?q=$uri;
}

location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
}

location ~ \.php$ {

You may upgrade to 0.6.36 or use

location / {
error_page 404 = /index.php?q=$uri;
log_not_found off;
}

on 0.6.32 instead of

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri;
}

And how would I go about replacing my current version with the newest
one?
I’m running Debian Lenny, so I just used apt-get install nginx (which I
know
would yield a slightly older version, but it was much easier at the
time).
Would I just download, compile, and install the source over the current
one?

Ok. Until I get this working, I’m re-enabling apache2 (sigh). I will
work
on this asap.

You may stay with 0.6.32 using

location / {
error_page 404 = /index.php?q=$uri;
log_not_found off;
}

You may build nginx without package manager, but note, that default
nginx installation paths differ from Debian ones: you should use
something
like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf …
etc.
