Rewrite configuration in web space (like .htaccess)

Hi,
is there a way to let users without access to nginx configuration set
rewrite rules? Something like .htaccess in apache with AllowOverride
option, without need to reload server configuration.
Thanks, Martin

Not as such. What you can do is let each user have their own instance
of Nginx on 127.0.0.x and proxy to them from the main Nginx instance.
This might seem like overkill, but Nginx uses so little resources it
isn’t a big deal and gives much more flexibility and security compared
to htaccess.

No.

personally i think it would be a nice optional feature.

perhaps with a big warning sign “this will KILL your performance!”

and start at “root” and traverse the directory tree until the file
being called…
