Match any location except particular one

[dubstep]

Hello, i have a website with the following files structure:

engine/
__index.php
webroot/
__images/
__css/
__cms/
______engine/
_________index.php
______webroot/
_________images/
_________css/
others/

So the folder “cms” is placed in a webroot of the main site. The point
is that all queries like “/js/jquery.js” must be treated as
“/webroot/js/jquery.js” and all cms queries like “/cms/js/jquery.js”
must be treated as “/webroot/cms/webroot/js/jquery.js”. I spent 2 days
writing a proper config, the main problem is that all queries to /cms/
location MUST NOT be parsed in “location / {…}” and all queries in
“location /cms/ {…}” must not be parsed in “location / {…}”

Here is my config:

server {
listen 8080;
server_name glinka.fm;
root /home/renat/www/glinka;
index index.php index.html;

# rules for all queries except /cms/ (how to do that??) "location ~

/(?!cms)" makes a cycle and 500 error
location / {
try_files /webroot/$uri /engine/index.php;
}

# rules for /cms/ queries only
location /cms/ {

rewrite /cms/(.) /webroot/cms/webroot/$1;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite (.) /webroot/cms/engine/index.php;
}
}

location ~ \.php$ {
  include fastcgi.conf;
}

}

Please help me

Hi there,

“location /cms/ {…}” must not be parsed in “location / {…}”

Here is my config:

You have three top-level location{} blocks here.

You probably only want two.

location / {

This will match all requests that don’t match another location.

# rules for /cms/ queries only
location /cms/ {

This will match all requests that begin “/cms/”, unless they match
another location.

location ~ \.php$ {

This will match all requests that end in “.php”. Specifically including
both “/index.php” and “/cms/index.php”. Which is likely not what you
want.

In nginx, every request is handled by one location{} block.

See, for example, http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location for
details of how the one is chosen.

So you probably want something like

location / {

all “location /” config

location ~ .php$ {
# all “php inside location /” config
}
}

location /cms/ {

all “location /cms/” config

location ~ .php$ {
# all “php inside location /cms/” config
}
}

Good luck with it,

Thanks but i’ve already found a solution in the russian nginx forum.

location ~ ^/cms/(.*)$ {
try_files /webroot/cms/webroot/$1 /webroot/cms/engine/index.php;
}

Is what i needed.

location /cms/ {
alias /home/renat/www/glinka/webroot/cms/webroot/;
try_files $uri /webroot/cms/engine/index.php;
}

Is there any way to use relative path in alias?
It does not look comfortable to write the whole absolute path, it would
be rather better if it is current root + path

alias is more flexible root.
