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?

[da_judge]

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
