Hello,

I am working with a panel in which requires the pages to function  
properly  
from the .htaccess file. However, I am no longer using Apache and have  
decided to do a Centmin Mod LEMP web stack to improve performance and  
whatnot. Anyways, I used this online converter  
[htaccess to nginx converter](http://winginx.com/en/htaccess) and when I put the code it gave me into  
my  
vhost.conf file, I got an error (see below). The error occurs even when  
I  
place that code in my domain.com.conf file, vhost.conf file, or  
nginx.conf  
file. The URL types my panel uses are  
[http://domain.com/staff/core.staffDetails](http://domain.com/staff/core.staffDetails) and it’s throwing a 404 error  
simply because it’s not reading the .htaccess file since I’m using  
Nginx.

The error I’m receiving:

## – [root@radio ~]# ngxrestart nginx: [emerg] “location” directive is not allowed here in /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf:50

Again, that happens even when I try the other files listed above.

.htaccess code I need converted:

–  
Options -Indexes

# Various rewrite rules.
 RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} !=/favicon.ico
## RewriteRule ^(._)(.)(._)$ index.php?url=$1.$3 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^ajax$ \_res/ajax.php [QSA] #RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ index.php?t=$1 [L,QSA]

I am using a Linux VPS running CentOS 6.5 if that information is needed.

Thank you!

You can try L2MP Stack ([http://l2mp.ml](http://l2mp.ml)) It support htaccess and
