Hello,

i want rewrite my website Blog Sites.

At moment the Sites are blog.html?id=.

I try to rewrite from article-.html to the site  
blog.html?id=.

Im not sure i understand the rewrite docu correct, i has the follow  
lines in  
the virtuell Server under location / ,

if (!-f $request\_filename) {  
rewrite “^/article-([0-9]).html$ /blogdetail.html?id=$1” last;  
}

but there i have only 404 in the log. rewrite\_log is on, but nothing  
write me  
in the log.

Where is my mistake?

Nice day.

Silvio

Try this:

location /article-(\d+).html$ {  
try\_files $uri $uri/ /blog.html?id=$1; # Is it blog.html or  
blogdetail.hmtl?  
}

location = /50x.html {  
root /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;  
}

location /article-(\d+).html$ {  
try\_files $uri $uri/ /blogdetail.html?id=$1;

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI

location ~ .(php|htm|html)$ {  
fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9002;  
fastcgi\_index index.php;  
fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME /usr/local/www/vserver/data  
$fastcgi\_script\_name; include /usr/local/etc/nginx/fastcgi\_params;
