Htaccess to nginx rewrite

vmirjamali · January 20, 2009, 8:25pm

I’ve desperately tried to convert my htaccess to nginx but sadly I just
couldn’t figure out how to do it. I really need help badly, I’m willing
to pay someone 15 dollars to just make my site work again on nginx if
someone can help me with that.

Here is sample how to convert first several rules:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.pspcrazy.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pspcrazy.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule
^game-browser-([^/])-([^/])-([0-9])-([^/])-([^/])-([^/]).html
index.php?page=BrowseGames&start=$1&cat=$2&nav=$3&genre=$4&esrb=$5&publisher=$6
[L,NS]
RewriteRule ^image_upload.html index.php?page=Mediaupload [L,NS]
RewriteRule ^image_upload-go.html index.php?page=Mediaupload&action=go
[L,NS]
RewriteRule ^image_upload-go-ADD.html
index.php?page=Mediaupload&action=go&task=
upload [L,NS]

server {
    listen  80;
    server_name  www.pspcrazy.com;

    location ~ \.php$ {
         ...
    }

    # RewriteRule

^game-browser-([^/])-([^/])-([0-9])-([^/])-([^/])-([^/]).html
index.php?page=BrowseGames&start=$1&cat=$2&nav=$3&genre=$4&esrb=$5&publisher=$6
[L,NS]

    location /game-browser- {
        rewrite

^/game-browser-([^/])-([^/])-([0-9])-([^/])-([^/])-([^/]).html
/index.php?page=BrowseGames&start=$1&cat=$2&nav=$3&genre=$4&esrb=$5&publisher=$6?
last;
}

    # RewriteRule ^image_upload.html index.php?page=Mediaupload

[L,NS]

    location = /image_upload.html {
        rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Mediaupload   last;
    }

    ...
}

# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.pspcrazy\.com
# RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pspcrazy.com/$1 [R=301,L]

server {
    listen  80   default;
    server_name  _;

    rewrite  ^  http://www.pspcrazy.com$request_uri  permnent;
}

Other rules should converted as these first ones.

Note:

Should be ‘permanent’ not ‘permnent’ or you will probably get an error.

(added ‘?’ to avoid query string duplication, typo fixed)

You do not need this at all:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.pspcrazy.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pspcrazy.com/$1 [R=301,L]

In this type of rewrites with $1, $2, etc:

location = /vote-([0-9]*).html {
rewrite ^ /index.php?page=Vote&id=$1 last;
}

      rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Vote&id=$1  last;

      rewrite  ^/vote-([0-9]*).html   /index.php?page=Vote&id=$1

last;

In this type of rewrites:

location = /polls.html {
rewrite ^ index.php?page=Polls last;
}

      rewrite  ^   index.php?page=Polls last;

      rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Polls last;

You need to place these rules inside one server and then add
rewrite for www.pspcrazy.com:

server {
server_name www.pspcrazy.com;

location /game-browser- {
    ...
}

...

location = /rss-articles.xml {
     rewrite  ^ rss-articles.php last;
}

# do not forget about PHP handler:
location ~ \.php$ {
     ...
}

}

server {
listen 80 default;
server_name _;

 rewrite  ^  http://www.pspcrazy.com$request_uri?  permanent;

}

I did all the changed but it still failed to make it work, reattached
the new htaccess converts.

Any Ideas?

Yet more, any regex:

location = /vote-([0-9]*).html {

location ~ /vote-([0-9]*).html {

“=” means exact match.

It seems you did not read the previous email:

In this type of rewrites:

location = /polls.html {
rewrite ^ index.php?page=Polls last;
}

      rewrite  ^   index.php?page=Polls last;

      rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Polls last;

Looking at the configuration, I’m starting to understand Python’s
author,
when he had decided to force indention.

This

server
{
listen 192.168.93.208:80;
server_name pspcrazy.com www.pspcrazy.com;

if ($host != ‘www.pspcrazy.com’ ) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.pspcrazy.com/$1 permanent;
rewrite ^ http://www.pspcrazy.com$request_uri? permanent;
}

…

should be rewritten as two servers (as I have already told):

server {
listen 192.168.93.208:80;
server_name pspcrazy.com;

rewrite  ^  http://www.pspcrazy.com$request_uri?  permanent;

}

server {
listen 192.168.93.208:80;
server_name .com www.pspcrazy.com;

...

This

location ~* ^/forums/((admincp/images|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/.*)$
{
root /home/user/pspcrazy.com/httpdocs;

if (-f $request_filename) {
expires 30d;
break;
}

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php last;
}

}

should be rewritten as:

location ~* ^/forums/((admincp/images|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/.*)$
{
root /home/user/pspcrazy.com/httpdocs;
expires 30d;

error_page  404  = @php;

}

location @php {
root /home/user/pspcrazy.com/httpdocs;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root/index.php;
}

etc. Do not use "if"s at all.
