Hello,  
I am new to nginx and I am having trouble converting htaccess rewrite to  
nginx rewrite. Please help me convert the following mod\_rewrites with a  
brief explanation. And should I put the nginx rewrite back into the  
.htaccess file or is there a designated config file to put the nginx  
location blocks?

 Options -MultiViews 

```
RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

```

Not quite familiar with apache rewrite rules, but I think you just need:

rewrite ^(.\*)/$ $1 permanent;  
try\_files $uri /index.php;

Not tested, apologies if I’m wrong.
