nginx rewrite for /blah/(.*) /$1
- by skrewler
I'm migrating from mod_php to nginx. I got everything working except for this rewrite.. I'm just not familiar enough with nginx configuration to know the correct way to do this.
I came up with this by looking at a sample on the nginx site.
server {
server_name test01.www.myhost.com;
root /home/vhosts/my_home/blah;
access_log /var/log/nginx/blah.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/blah.error.log;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrites;
}
location @rewrites {
rewrite ^ /index.php last;
rewrite ^/ht/userGreeting.php /js/iFrame/index.php last;
rewrite ^/ht/(.*)$ /$1 last;
rewrite ^/userGreeting.php$ /js/iFrame/index.php last;
rewrite ^/a$ /adminLogin.php last;
rewrite ^/boom\/(.*)$ /boom/index.php?q=$1 last;
rewrite ^favicon.ico$ favico_ry.ico last;
}
# This block will catch static file requests, such as images, css, js
# The ?: prefix is a 'non-capturing' mark, meaning we do not require
# the pattern to be captured into $1 which should help improve performance
location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
# Some basic cache-control for static files to be sent to the browser
expires max;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}
include php.conf;
}
The issue I'm having is with this rewrite:
rewrite ^ht\/(.*)$ /$1 last;
99% of requests that will hit this rewrite are static files. So I think maybe it's getting sent to the static files section and that's where things are being messed up?
I tried adding this but it didn't work:
location ~* ^ht\/.*\.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
# Some basic cache-control for static files to be sent to the browser
expires max;
add_header Pragma public;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}
Any help would be appreciated. I know the best thing to do would be to just change the references of /ht/whatever.jpg to /whatever.jpg in the code.. but that's not an option for now.
