Hello everybody. This is my first post here.
I have a large traffic technology website and to improve performance we
are wtiching to nginx.
We want to serve static content with nginx and dynamic with apache.
The configuration is perfect, but I have a problem with images.
In my previos configuration i have this .htaccess
# $Header: /usr/local/cvsroot/dday.it/.htaccess,v 1.4 2009/11/04
23:29:51 tngsandiego Exp $
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# dday.it
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dday\.it
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.dday.it/$1 [R=permanent,L]

# Broken/Non existing images users
RewriteRule ^userFiles/gallery/users/(.*)/(.*)$
userFiles/gallery/users/$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /userFiles/gallery/users/0/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* elements/images/user_default.gif [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /userFiles/gallery/users/1/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* elements/images/user_default_f.gif [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /userFiles/gallery/products/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* elements/images/no_image.png [L]
# MANAGE ERRORS
#ErrorDocument 500 /dday.it/index.php?a=page-not-found
#ErrorDocument 404 /dday.it/index.php?a=page-not-found
I imagine that the problem is the part of the code below, because other
parts of htaccess are related to dynamic content…
# Broken/Non existing images users
RewriteRule ^userFiles/gallery/users/(.*)/(.*)$
userFiles/gallery/users/$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /userFiles/gallery/users/0/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* elements/images/user_default.gif [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /userFiles/gallery/users/1/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* elements/images/user_default_f.gif [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /userFiles/gallery/products/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* elements/images/no_image.png [L]How can I pass this part to nginx? There is a tutorial to rewrite
rules?
I found a website with a translation script but it doesn’t work.
