Converting Rewrites to Nginx

Server NGINX
1

I have been trying to convert the following htaccess rules to nginx with
no
luck.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

I’ve tried:

location / {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
}
}

and I’ve also tried:

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$1 last;
}

None seem to work. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$1 last;
}

Maybe what you want here is:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
}
location @rewrite {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1;
}

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. That last part gave me a
redirect loop error, so I changed it to this:

rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1;

I applied it, loaded the site, restarted nginx, and loaded the site
again.
It seems to work. Hopefully, my change is not just a fluke but will
continue
to work. However, if you think my change will cause an issue for the
future, please let me know. Again, thanks for your help.

Ugh, I spoke too soon. It works when the urls are like this:
http://example.com/install?step=1

But it does not work when the urls are like this:

http://example.com/dashboard/
http://example.com/profile/

Sometime it brings back 404 Not Found and other times it comes back with
500
Internal Error

@Miguel, trying it my way and trying it the way you suggested, both give
me
a 404/500. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
