Hiho, I am currently running gallery3 on nginx/php-fpm. Works like a charm so far. But i’d like to get gallery3 also under the hood of try-files, but didn’t get it running up to now. The working (and evil) if rewrite code looks like this: ``` location /gallery3/ { if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/gallery3/index.php/(.+)$ ``` /gallery3/index.php?kohana\_uri=$1 last; rewrite ^/gallery3/(.+)$ /gallery3/index.php?kohana\_uri=$1 last; rewrite ^/gallery3/$ /gallery3/index.php?kohana\_uri=/ last; } ``` } ``` Could anybody supply a correct try\_files directive and explain how and why try\_files should do the stuff in this case? Thank you very much! ## Andy Andreas Lehr mail: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Try this: location /gallery3 { location /gallery3(.\*)$ { try\_files $uri /gallery3/index.php$1 /gallery3$1 /gallery3/index.php?kohana\_uri=$1; } ## You need this here to make it work with the nested location. location /gallery3/index.php { (fastcgi or proxy\_pass stuff here) } } — appa ---

Oops. There was a superfluous URI being tried. Here it is: location /gallery3 { location /gallery3(.\*)$ { try\_files $uri /gallery3/index.php$1 /gallery3/index.php?kohana\_uri=$1; } ## You need this here to make it work with the nested location. location /gallery3/index.php { (fastcgi or proxy\_pass stuff here) } } — appa ---

The way I prefer to use: location /gallery3/ { ``` root /path/to/gallery3; location /gallery3/index.php/(.+)$ { try_files $uri /gallery3/index.php?kohana_uri=$1; } location /gallery3(/.+)$ { try_files $uri /gallery3/index.php?kohana_uri=$1; } location = /gallery3/index.php { fastcgi_pass backend; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/gallery3/index.php; include fastcgi_params; } ``` } – Igor S. ---
