Convert apache rewrite rules to nginx
- by Shiyu Sekam
I want to migrate an Apache setup to Nginx, but I can't get the rewrite rules working in Nginx. I had a look on the official nginx documentation, but still some trouble converting it. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html
I've used http://winginx.com/en/htaccess to convert my rules, but this just works partly. The / part looks okay, the /library part as well, but the /public part doesn't work at all.
Apache part:
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /srv/www/Web
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pid=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^places(.*)$ index.php?url=places/view/%1 [PT,L]
# Extract search query in /search?q={query}&l={location}
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=(.*)&l=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=search/index/%1/%2 [PT,L]
# Extract search query in /search?q={query}
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=search/index/%1 [PT,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]
Order deny,allow
deny from all
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
AddHandler php5-fcgi .php
Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi
Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -socket /var/run/php5-fpm.sock -pass-header Authorization
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Nginx config:
server {
#listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
root /srv/www/Web;
index index.html index.php;
server_name localhost;
location / {
rewrite ^/$ /public/ break;
rewrite ^(.*)$ /public/$1 break;
}
location /library {
deny all;
}
location /public {
if ($query_string ~ "^pid=([0-9]*)$"){
rewrite ^/places(.*)$ /index.php?url=places/view/%1 break;
}
if ($query_string ~ "^q=(.*)&l=(.*)$"){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=search/index/%1/%2 break;
}
if ($query_string ~ "^q=(.*)$"){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=search/index/%1 break;
}
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 break;
}
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
I haven't written the original ruleset, so I've a hard time converting it. Would you mind giving me a hint how to do it easily or can you help me to convert it, please?
I really want to switch over to php5-fpm and nginx :)
Thanks
