Rewrite rules for "random" subfolders

Server NGINX
1

Hey,

I would like to migrate my page from a webhoster to my own vServer
running
Nginx. So far I got everything up and running EXCEPT these stupid
.htaccess
file. Let me explain:

My site contains several galleries with slideshows. When you are
watching
one of those you click a link which looks like this

“DOMAIN/galleries/album-set/album-2/DSC01154-single.php”

(only DOMAIN/galleries and -single.php) are fixed. The rest can vary.
Those
links are generated by Lightroom and a plugin and during this process a
.htaccess file will be copied into each folder. The content looks like
this:

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)-single.*php$ single.php?id=$1 [L]

This makes my link
DOMAIN/galleries/album-set/album-2/DSC01154-single.php
point to this
DOMAIN/galleries/album-set/album-2/single.php?id=DSC01154

as you can see, the “DSC01154” will be passed through. I am trying for
several days to create a rewrite rule for Nginx doing the same without
killing my page.

Does anyone knows a solution for this?

Hi,

Does this work?
rewrite ^(.)/(.)-single.php $1/single. php?id=$2 last;

Not tested, so anything could happen.

Unfortunately not -.- here is a small summary of my vhost

server {

    location / {
            index index.php index.html index.htm;
            try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrites;
            rewrite ^(.*)/(.*)-single\.php $1/single.php?id=$2 last;
    }



    location @rewrites {
            rewrite ^ /index.php last;
    }

}

I emptied my cache and restarted nginx as well … no success

Try the below one in the server context …outside all location blocks.
You
can enable dedug log and do rewrite_log on; to see if its matching etc.
Good Luck!

rewrite ^/galleries/album-set/album-2/(.*)-single.php
/galleries/album-set/album-2/single.php?id=$1 last;
