nginx rewrite to fix broken links left by uninstalling vbseo?
 

I had vbseo installed, and uninstalled it because it quit working a while back and then I discovered they abandoned the project. I'm not up to date on all the issues with that, but I'm running 4.2.3 and have a LOT of php errors that seem to be related to links to attachments that were handled by vbseo rewrites.

for example...I have a link that looks like this: http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...-maps-gimp.pdf which generates a 404. obviously, because the attachments folder is not based on the sub-forum url rewrites.

Has anyone created an nginx .conf that fixes the attachments links broken by vbseo uninstall? Is there a comprehensive vbseo link fixer nginx conf? Help!!!

Thanks ;)

I wanted to mention, I'm seeing a lot of errors in my error.log and php eventually crashes from what I can tell...I keep getting 502 errors because of all the errors.

here's an example...also based on the attachments rewrite from vbseo.

2016/03/16 06:37:17 [error] 12933#0: *5931 open() "/home/cartographers/cartographersguild.com/attachments/general-miscellaneous-mapping/56561d1375393066-[wip-]-grass-forest-maps-forest-wip-1.png" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 194.199.63.239, server: cartographersguild.com, request: "GET /attachments/general-miscellaneous-mapping/56561d1375393066-%5Bwip-%5D-grass-forest-maps-forest-wip-1.png HTTP/1.1", host: "www.cartographersguild.com"

Anybody have any thoughts?

There are a number of threads that give rewrites for removing vbseo for forums using apache. Find one of those and adapt the rewrite rules to the syntax that nginx requires.

I didn't think to omit nginx from my search keywords...thanks...looking around I can only find rewrites for threads...not for attachments. My threads are working for the most part, I just need to fix the broken attachment links now.

As a matter of fact...was vbseo responsible for adding the forum name in the attachment path or could that have been from something else?
