Forum: NGINX Rewrite all directory URLs with certain exceptions

Hello

I have urls like example.com/123
I need them rewritten to example.com/?v=123

However, I want to skip certain directories from rewrite
eg.
example.com/status
example.com/admin

right now I have this:

if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite ^/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ 
http://www.example.com/v.php?dl=$1redirect;
}

Problem is that all urls are rewritten.. how do I put some exceptions?

Thanks for any suggestion

put the rewrite in a location block (e.g. inside location / { }).

I would recommend using location matching to differentiate URIs
which should be handled differently.  E.g.

    location / {
        # you may want to use try_files here instead
        if (...) {
            rewrite ...
        }
        ...
    }

    location /status {
        ...
    }

    location /admin {
        ...
    }

See http://nginx.org/r/location for more information.

Maybe something like this.

location = / {
  if ($arg_v) {
    rewrite ^ /v.php?dl=$arg_v;
  }
}

I tried this from a htaccess to nginx converter

if ($query_string ~ "^v=(.*)$"){
    rewrite ^/index\.php$ /v.php?dl=$1 break;
}

But the resulting url is /v.php?dl=%1&v=FER34S

beats me!!

Try:

if ($arg_v) {
    rewrite ^ /v.php?dl=$arg_v break;
}

--appa

Yes, this worked, I was also trying to get an idea of that matching in 
my
attempt...

Why is $1 not matching right?
