Nginx Fix

[da_judge]

Vbulletin5 is great... but if you running nginx i seen a few people having issues with it... well i got it running with rules below :)

Have fun


location @php {
try_files $uri =404;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
rewrite ^/css.php$ /core/css.php last;
rewrite ^/install/ /core/install/ last;
if ($uri !~ ".(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$"){
set $rule_2 1$rule_2;
}
if (!-f $request_filename){
set $rule_2 2$rule_2;
}
if (!-d $request_filename){
set $rule_2 3$rule_2;
}
if ($rule_2 = "321"){
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?routestring=$1 last;
}
rewrite ^/(admincp/)$ /index.php?routestring=$1 last;

There is a vhosts rewrite(s) included with the default package, did you not try it?

[da_judge]

hahaha well yer of course i did.. as i say there are many topics i read about vb5 and nginx... people saying vbulletins vhost file dont work... so i thought i would share my fix ;)

[Zachery]

What exactly was wrong with the rewrite rules?

[da_judge]

They didnt work... as i say.. if you google you will find im not alone.. css messed up.. redirects didnt work correctly... mine works for me perfect... yours didnt.. i dont see what the problem is..

[Zachery]

I'm asking so we can fix the actual redirects for everyone. :)

You tried adding these rules?


# configuration rules
# legacy css being handled separate for performance
location = /css\.php {
rewrite ^ /core/css.php break;
}

# make install available from presentation
location ^~ /install {
rewrite ^/install/ /core/install/ break;
}

# any request to not existing item gets redirected through routestring
location / {
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?routestring=$1 last;
}
}

# make admincp available from presentation
location ^~ /admincp {
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/admincp/(.*)$ /index.php?routestring=admincp/$1 last;
}
}
# process any php scripts, not found gets redirected through routestring
location ~ \.php$ {
# handles legacy scripts
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?routestring=$1 break;
}
}


And they weren't working?

i did try them as i stated previously.. nothing worked.. my rules did.. remember nginx can have different configs / setups on some distros... some rules work some dont.. xen has 0 issues though
