hello everyone, i just installed nginx up and running for serving static  
content on my site. it works great but the apache rewrite rule about  
images (ofcourse) stoped working.

and i don’t have an idea how to convert .

This is what i was using on apache :

RewriteCond %{HTTP\_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?[999策略白菜网站 - 999策略白菜论坛网](http://imgzzz.com/.*$) [NC]  
RewriteRule i/image\_(\d+).(jpg|jpeg|gif) pic/$1 [L]

Its purpose is to redirect directly accessed images to the image page  
instead. Helps is appreciated

Thanks in advance 🙂  
cheers

This is configuraiton for 0.8.53:

location /i/image\_ {

```
location ~ ^/i/image_(?<IMAGE>\d+)\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ {
    valid_referers imgzzz.com www.imgzzz.com;

    if ($invalid_referer) {
        rewrite ^ /pic/$IMAGE;
    }
}

```

}
