Hello,

I managed to get joomla clean url if joomla is in the root of my domain  
by following the wiki but i cant get it to work in the scenario  
[http://mydomain/joomlafolder/](http://mydomain/joomlafolder/) (i.e if joomla is in a folder in my  
website clean url doesnt work at all)

problem fixed by modifying the code in the wiki to this:

location /joomlasubfolder/ {  
error\_page 404 = @joomla;  
log\_not\_found off;  
}

location @joomla {  
rewrite ^/(.\*)$ /joomlasubfolder/index.php?q=$1 last;  
}
