Hello,
I’ve been using nginx for 1.5 years now with about 10 or so CodeIgniter
sites, but apparently I still haven’t mastered the rewrite stuff.
With the CodeIgniter stuff (and Igor’s help), I never had to use the
“rewrite” command at all.
Anyway, now I need to translate the following (from .htaccess for
Apache):
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z/-_@]+)$ index.php?demand=$1 [QSA,L]
My current conf file is going into a loop and eventually returning
nothing:
server {
listen 80;
server_name mysite.com.vmware;
access_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/mysite.com.access.log;
error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/mysite.com.error.log;
root /home/mylinuxuser/www/live/mysite.com;
index index.php;
rewrite ^/([0-9a-zA-Z/-_@]+)$ /index.php?demand=$1 last;
location / {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/home/mylinuxuser/www/live/mysite.com/index.php;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
}
}
Can someone please advise?
Thanks!
Chris

fastcgi_params0 is copy of fastcgi_params without QUERY_STRING
parameter.

A typo:
fastcgi_params0 is copy of fastcgi_params without QUERY_STRING parameter.

Thanks for the quick response Igor.
Unfortunately I’m still getting stuck in a loop.
This code which has been handed to me is using both the .htaccess rule
(shown below) and once it hits index.php (actually an include included
from index.php) it’s also calling a PHP function named rewrite().
Maybe I can do some cleanup later but for now I really just want to be
able to run the site in my dev environment without having to install
Apache…
If the nginx rewrite rules will do what the one Apache rewrite rule
does, it really shouldn’t matter what this following code does, I
wouldn’t think.
/* rewrite url function */
rewrite();
if (isset($_GET['selectLanguage']))
{
if ($_GET['module'])
{
$reloadURL = $_GET['module'];
}
foreach ($_GET as $id=>$val)
{
if ($id != 'selectLanguage' && $id != 'module')
{
$reloadURL .= "/$id/$val";
}
}
header('Location: '.WWW_ROOT.$reloadURL);
}
function rewrite(){
/** URL rewriting action **/
global $_module;
if(isset($_GET['demand']) && $_GET['demand']!="") {
$_action_vars = explode('/', $_GET['demand']);
$_module = $_GET['module'] = trim($_action_vars[0]);
if(count($_action_vars) > 1) {
for ($i = 1; $i < count($_action_vars); $i +=
2) {
if($_action_vars[$i] != ''){
if (isset($_action_vars[$i+1]))
{
$_GET[trim($_action_vars[$i])] = trim($_action_vars[$i+1]);
} else {
$_GET[trim($_action_vars[$i])] = '';
}
}
}
}
} else {
// Setting default values for null request
$_module = $_GET['module'] = 'index';
}
unset($_GET['demand']);
foreach($_GET as $key => $val){
if($key == '' || $key == null)
unset($_GET[$key]);
}
/** End of URL rewriting action **/
}
ok, sent my last reply before I saw this. Let me try it now.

I’m still stumped on this one. Can anyone tell why I’m getting an
endless loop? Firefox gives:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to
accept
cookies.
Machine:
. Ubuntu Karmic Koala fully-upgraded/updated, VM running on VMWare
Workstation 6.5 running on Windows XP
. nginx 0.8.35 built from source
. php-5.3.2 with php-fpm
Working .htaccess Apache file:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z\/\-\_\@]+)$ index.php?demand=$1 [QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?demand=$1 [NC,L]
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
My Nginx conf file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com.vmware;
access_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/domain.com.access.log;
error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/domain.com.error.log debug;
root /home/mylinuxuser/www/live/domain.com;
index index.php;
location / {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/home/mylinuxuser/www/live/domain.com/index.php;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ ^/([0-9a-zA-Z\/\-\_\@]+)$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/home/mylinuxuser/www/live/domain.com/index.php;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING demand=$1;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params0;
}
}
Here is the 5200-line debug output from the error log when only
requesting http://domain.com
http://pastebin.com/6PLyC3r8
Note: fastcgi_params is unmodified from nginx distribution.
fastcgi_params0 is identical except it lacks QUERY_STRING setting
Note2: I didn’t write the web code. There is PHP code doing a
header(“Location:… etc”) call, in order to make clean URLs. Still, if
the PHP code works with the Apache .htaccess, it must be possible to
have it work with Nginx configuration.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Chris

thanks, but still no luck, still looping.
What about this part? What is the nginx equivalent of this? Where is
there documentation on this?
<Directory "/home/mylinuxuser/www/live/domain.com">
allow from all
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/mylinuxuser/www/live/domain.com">
Options -Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Meanwhile I’m going to have to resort to xdebug maybe, and/or I’m also
getting my RHEL5 VM w/Apache into shape … to also run via xdebug I
guess… incredible… all for this one rewriterule.
