Hello everybody here in NGINX  
Hello Igor, and others.

I need a help regarding rewrite problem

Source:

# 

RewriteEngine on

# Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented

# Example:

# Your store url is [yourcompany.com is available for purchase - Sedo.com](http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart)

# So “RewriteBase” should be:

# RewriteBase /store/cart

#RewriteBase /  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !.(png|gif|ico|swf|jpe?g|js|css)$  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
#RewriteRule . index.php?sef\_rewrite=1

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} ._/catalog/._  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} -d  
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME}/index.html !-f  
#RewriteRule . index.php?sef\_rewrite=1

# 

i try this one:  
location / {  
if ($request\_filename ~ “.html$”) {  
rewrite ^/(.\*)/t-([0-9]+).html$ /index.php?sef\_rewrite=1  
permanent;  
}  
}

but it doesnt work, -\_\_-  
please guide me, thank you very much.

Do you realize that everything except this one rule is a NO-OP?
