hello;  
I want to write a block to put in my VHOST config file.  
i want

1. if there is “/install/index.php/” in the link. it shouldbe removed  
from  
the link.
2. if the format is like /uc\_server/blab.php/uc\_server/blahblah ===it  
should change to===\>/uc\_server/blabal

what should I put in my VHOST config file and where?

my current VHOST format is :

```auto
server {
    server_name www.DOMAINNAME;
    rewrite ^(.*) http://DOMAINNAME$1 permanent;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name DOMAINNAME;
                root /var/www/DOMAINNAME/htdocs;
                index index.php;
    include /etc/nginx/security;

# Logging --
access_log /var/log/nginx/DOMAINNAME.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/DOMAINNAME.error.log notice;

        # serve static files directly
        location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt)$ {
            access_log off;
            expires max;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm/DOMAINNAME.socket;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        }
}
```

What part are you having difficulties with?

Have you read the documentation for “location” and “rewrite”? Have a  
read of that, and then let us know if you’re still having a problem.

In the rewrite line, capture the parts before and after  
/install/index.php/, and rewrite to those parts without the middle bit.

What does “format is like” mean? urls that start with something, or that  
end with something, or that include a specific pattern somewhere?

Which parts of the input are used to make the output?

If you can write down how the matching should happen, the rewrite rule  
should become clear.
