Hello, i have write my own Blog now, and the sites ended with id. Thats not good for the visitors and the search engine so i think. Is there are a way that i can write the webpage Adress like blogdetail.html?id=1 in a title for example. blogdetail.html?id=1 → [www.mysite.com/whatismoney](http://www.mysite.com/whatismoney) (as example) blogdetail.html?id=2 → [www.mysite.com/thenextentry](http://www.mysite.com/thenextentry) (as example) I think i want use the Headline from the article. Can i make this with nginx? Cam give me someone a example, because the website [Module ngx\_http\_rewrite\_module](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule) i understand not correct or im to long at pc today. Thanks for help.

So i can not use Rewrite Rules. you can but it’ll be tedious unless you meant a simple mapping like this: /page/1 ===\> /page.php?id=1 if it’s something seo-ish like this: /my-cool-story ===\> /page.php?id=1 then it must be handled by the application ---

Oh u be the the inventor of Nginx, this is an honor. Thanks for nginx, im more friendly with it, as before. I read a lot of Maillinglists, im so long use OpenSource Software but never has a dialog with a Inventor of a project. I think its nice day today. So want come back to what i want write to the subject: I want be honestly, that blog, with comments, RSS Feed and the Secure Points was my first steps in PHP. Im happy that i could relized the “Project” so. More PHP Expirence i have not and so i not know how should it relized. I know it goes, i think its with location header. So i think, nginx has a rewrite Module, and it were easier as PHP. Sure with PHP were better, because i can use the Mysql Table, is automatic i think, the nginx configuration i must write.
