Hi Everyone,

i try to convert some rules from apache htaccess to nginx.

This is my htaccess Rule:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT\_ROOT}/$3 -f  
RewriteRule ^(._?)/(._?)/(.\*)$ /$3

I tried these options but it seems not working:

if (-f $document\_root/$3){  
set $rule\_0 1$rule\_0;  
}  
if ($rule\_0 = “1”){  
rewrite ^/(._?)/(._?)/(.\*)$ /$3;  
}

Anyone have a good idea?

Cheers

Daniel

I suspect that some previous part of the htaccess file has a regex which  
sets $3. What is that?

Or, alternatively:

What http request do you make?

What response do you want? As in, what file on your filesystem do you  
want nginx to return, for this request?
