PHP to Apache - Friendly URLs fail with VBulletin

Server NGINX
1

I’m using nginx for all static web content and forward all PHP requests
to
Apache. This works great when I type e.g. Domain.com.

However, vbulletin will convert any link to e.g.:
http://domain.com/threads/threadtopic or
http://domain.com/search.php?do=getnew.
So no more .php extension and when I click the topic now it just reloads
the
forum’s main page where I already was.

How can I tell nginx to also forward *.php? to apache? And how to handle
the
vbulletin rewrites? Do I need to move the .htaccess to nginx?

Here’s my .htaccess

VBulletin Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]

Thanks!!

Have you take a look at

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files

or the worst case :wink:

=> First link in my response
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/preparefiles_nginx

and as your now on learning and reading maybe this link will help you
too.
