Rewrite rules from Apache again

jason_sam · June 10, 2014, 6:00pm

I’m still trying to move everything from apache to nginx.
I’ve successfully translated some rules from the .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(.)_k(.).htm$ pagina.php?k=$2

works pretty weff if turned into:

rewrite ^/(.)_k(.).htm$ /pagina.php?k=$2 ;

while

RewriteRule ^privacy.php$ pagina.php?k=privacy

does not work if translated as:

rewrite ^/privacy.php$ /pagina.php?k=privacy ;

the request is passed unchanged and I get a 404 error for the
/privacy.php page does’nt exist.

What did I miss?

AdvThanksAnce,

Luciano.

The rest of the config?

==
server {
rewrite ^/(.)_k(.).htm$ /pagina.php?k=$2 ;
rewrite ^/privacy.php$ /pagina.php?k=privacy ;

location = /pagina.php {
return 200 “I got $uri$is_args$args from $request_uri\n”;
}
}

seems to work as expected for me, for requests like /privacy.php and
/a_k_b.htm?key=value.

What do you have that is different?

Wow!
I had it under “location /”
Moving it to “server” level and adding a “break” seems to make it work!

location = /pagina.php {
return 200 “I got $uri$is_args$args from $request_uri\n”;
}
Many thanks for this elegant way of debugging this kind of
configuration problems.

Another problem
If I try the same thing in a subdirectory, it doesn’t work.

In the error log I get:
2014/06/11 17:51:46 [error] 602#0: *264 FastCGI sent in stderr: “Primary
script
unknown” while reading response header from upstream, client:
212.121.88.183,
server: new.assirm.it, request: “GET /en/privacy.php HTTP/1.1”,
upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9004”, host: “new.assirm.it”, referrer:
“http://new.assirm.it/en/history_khistory.htm”

It seems that the “location =” that I’ve put to intercept the rewrite
doesn’t match.

My configuration, now looks like this:
server {
listen 212.45.144.216:80 default_server;

Good luck with it,

Solved!

Moving all the rewrite rules outside the “location” to the “server”
section makes them work as expected. The regexp takes care of the
different rewritings to be done.

Maaany thanks again,

Luciano.

No worries.

It can be useful to have a minimal test case that shows the problem.

I had it under “location /”
Moving it to “server” level and adding a “break” seems to make it work!

Very approximately, the order is:

choose the server{}
run the rewrite directives
choose the location{}
run the rewrite directives, looping back as necessary
handle the request

So your non-server-level rewrites will only apply if they are in the
location{} that is chosen.

location = /pagina.php {
return 200 “I got $uri$is_args$args from $request_uri\n”;
}
Many thanks for this elegant way of debugging this kind of
configuration problems.

You’re welcome.

You may also find it useful to enable debug logging for your test
client,
such as by putting something like

debug_connection 127.0.0.10;

within the events{} block, and then looking in error_log.

If I try the same thing in a subdirectory, it doesn’t work.

Put the rewrites at server{} level, or in the location{} that is chosen.

It seems that the “location =” that I’ve put to intercept the rewrite
doesn’t match.

No.

The rewrite that you want doesn’t happen, because the request
/en/privacy.php is handled in:

    location ~ \.php$ {
    location / {
    location ^~ /en/ {
        location = /en/pagina.php {
        location ~ \.php$ {

…that location, and not in the one two above it.

Good luck with it,
