Hi,

It’s possible in Nginx to make “Multiviews”? (like Apache) I didn’t  
found information about this for Nginx

For example:  
[www.domain.com/test1/](http://www.domain.com/test1/) → [www.domain.com/test1.php](http://www.domain.com/test1.php)  
[www.domain.com/test1/test2/](http://www.domain.com/test1/test2/) → [www.domain.com/test1/test2.php](http://www.domain.com/test1/test2.php)  
[www.domain.com/every/](http://www.domain.com/every/) → [www.domain.com/every.php](http://www.domain.com/every.php)

But if [www.domain.com/every/](http://www.domain.com/every/) exists, goes to [www.domain.com/every/](http://www.domain.com/every/) of  
course. All directories who doesn’t exists, tries to .php and if not,  
404.

Thank you

something like

location ~ ^(.\*)/$ {  
try\_files $uri $1.php;  
}

?

It works, but:

- [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) returns a 404 not found

- [www.domain.com/every/?data=1&moredata=2](http://www.domain.com/every/?data=1&moredata=2) dont pass the  
“data=1&moredata=2” to the php

How can we make work this? Thanks edogawaconan

location ~ ^(.+)/$ {  
try\_files $uri $1.php?$args;  
}
