nginx giving of 404 when using set in an if-block
- by ba
I've just started using nginx and I'm now trying to make it play nice with the Wordpress plugin WP-SuperCache which adds static files of my blog posts.
To serve the static file I need to make sure that some cookies aren't set, that it's not a POST-request and making sure the cached/static file exist.
I found this guide and it seems like a good fit.
But I've noticed that as soon as I try to set something inside an if my site starta giving 404s on an URL that isn't rewritten.
The location block of the configuration:
location /blog {
index index.php;
set $supercache_file '';
set $supercache_ok 1;
if ($request_method = POST) {
set $supercache_ok 0;
}
if ($http_cookie ~* "(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_)") {
set $supercache_ok '0';
}
if ($supercache_ok = '1') {
set $supercache_file '$document_root/blog/wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1/index.html.gz';
}
if (-f $supercache_file) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $supercache_file break;
}
try_files $uri $uri/ @wordpress;
}
The above doesn't work, and if I remove all the ifs above and add
if ($http_host = 'mydomain.tld') {
set $supercache_ok = 1;
}
and then I get the exact same message in the errors.log. Namely:
2010/05/12 19:53:39 [error] 15977#0: *84 "/home/ba/www/domain.tld/blog/2010/05/blogpost/index.php" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: <ip>, server: domain.tld, request: "GET /blog/2010/05/blogpost/ HTTP/1.1", host: "domain.tld", referrer: "http://domain.tld/blog/"
Remove the if and everything works as it should. I'm stymied, no idea at all where I should start searching. =/
