Hi everyone,

I’m writing here because i have rewrite problems on Nginx. First of all  
i will explain to you what result i’m expecting.  
For example i have this URL :

[http://www.mydomain.com/api/redirect/var1/value1/var2/value2/varX/valueX/?varX=valueX&](http://www.mydomain.com/api/redirect/var1/value1/var2/value2/varX/valueX/?varX=valueX&)…

after rewrite i would like to get :

[Web Hosting, Domain Name Registration - MyDomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com/?var1=value1&var2=value2&varX=valueX&varX=valueX)…

So i get it works on apache with :

RewriteRule  
^(api/redirect/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)([^?]\*)  
$1$4/?&$2=$3 [QSA,N]  
RewriteRule ^api/redirect/[^/]+/[^/]+/([^/]+)  
index.php?service=Redirect&hash=$1 [QSA,L]

And now i would like to have the same on nginx, but i think nginx  
doesn’t handle something like apache’s N flag. Then it’s my nginx  
rewrite rules, it work once because it doesn’t re-execute rewrite while  
it’s possible.

rewrite ^/(api/redirect/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)([^?]\*)  
/$1$4/?&$2=$3;  
rewrite ^/api/redirect/[^/]+/[^/]+/([^/]+)  
/public/index.php?service=Redirect&func=Redirect&hash=$1 last;

Do someone have a solution for this please ? I will apreciate a lot.  
thanks you.

Best regards,
