Wordpress MU Config

Server NGINX
1

Hi there,

Does anyone have an optimized config for Wordpress MU with subdomain
support?

There are a lot of conflicting configs on the wordpress forums and I
could not find one on the Nginx Wiki - hence the request.

Thanks in advance!

I use the config at
http://lumanau.web.id/2008/11/27/nginx-rewrite-rules-for-wordpressmu-with-wp-super-cache-plugin-enabled.html
for MU with supercache. It seems to work. I may switch to Varnish or
nginx fastcgi cache and then the rewrites are pretty trivial. If I
recall correctly the rewrites are the same for subdomain or subdirectory
configuration. It’s a matter of a config setting in MU and a wildcard
DNS entry.

Note these are not “optimized” in that they contain lots of “if”
statements and Igor would probably cringe…

Also the line breaks are from my mail client truncating… I have it
all one line, but I don’t think it matters for nginx.

I recently setup wordpress with supercache like so:

location / {
try_files $uri
/wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$uriindex.html $uri/
/index.php?q=$uri;
}

I believe this is an Igor-cringing-from-too-many-ifs-less
configuration, but I do not guarantee the lack of any cringes
whatsoever :P.

Merlin, how does that config account for visitors with logged in
wordpress user cookies?

With Supercache these users should not be directed to the supercached
files:
