This is htaccess:  
  
RewriteEngine On  
RewriteBase /  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

And this is what i got for nginx but not sure is it ok:  
if (-f $request\_filename) {  
break;  
}  
if (-d $request\_filename) {  
break;  
}  
rewrite /. /index.php last;  
So if someone knows better please help.
