It’s me again ☹ I was trying to install siwapp on my webserver but I  
couldn’t make it work with nginx, here is the .htaccess file content:

```
# If the file is NOT the index.php file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index.php
 # Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
 RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ index.php/$1

 RewriteCond $1

```

!^(index.php|nhototamsu|assets|cache|xd\_receiver.html|photo|ipanel|automap|xajax\_js|files|robots.txt|favicon.ico|ione.ico|(.\*).xml|ror.xml|tool|google6afb981101589049.html|googlec0d38cf2adbc25bc.html|widget|iradio\_admin|services|wsdl)

```
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

```

When I access  
[http://myurl.com/tin-tuc/tuyen-sinh/tu-van/2012/04/25757-phan-van-qua-giua-khoi-a1-va-khoi-a.html](http://myurl.com/tin-tuc/tuyen-sinh/tu-van/2012/04/25757-phan-van-qua-giua-khoi-a1-va-khoi-a.html)  
,nginx could display the page correctly, it said: “404 Not Found” (new  
URL:
