Nginx & Apache Cannot get try_files to work with permalinks
- by tcherokee
I have been working on this for the past two weeks not and for some reason I cannot seem to get nginx's try_files to work with my wordpress permalinks. I am hoping someone will be able to tell me where I am going wrong and also hopefully tell me if I made any major errors with my configurations as well (I am an nginx newbie... but learning :) ).
Here are my Configuration files
nginx.conf

The two commented out try_files in location \ of the mydomain config files are the ones I tried. This error I found in the error log can be found below.
...rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.php"
Thanks in advance
