Nginx Rewrite Rule For File Within Folder Not Working
- by user3620111
Good evening everyone or possible early morning if you are in my neck of the woods.
My problem seems trivial but after several hours of testing, researching and fiddling I can't seem to get this simple nginx rewrite function to work.
There are several rewrites we need, some will have multiple parameters but I cant even get this simple 1 parameter current url to alter at all to the desired.
Current: website.com/public/viewpost.php?id=post-title
Desired: website.com/public/post/post-title
Can someone kindly point me to as what I have done wrong, I am baffled / very tired...
For testing purposes before we launch we were just using a simple port on the server. Here is that section.
# Listen on port 7774 for dev test
server {
listen 7774;
server_name localhost;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/paa;
index index.php home.php index.html index.htm /public/index.php;
location ~* /uploads/.*\.php$ {
if ($request_uri ~* (^\/|\.jpg|\.png|\.gif)$ ) {
break;
}
return 444;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri @rewrite =404;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass php5-fpm-sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location @rewrite {
rewrite ^/viewpost.php$ /post/$arg_id? permanent;
}
}
I have tried countless attempts such as above @rewrite and simpler:
location / {
rewrite ^/post/(.*)$ /viewpost.php?id=$1 last;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass php5-fpm-sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
I can not seem to get anything to work at all, I have tried changing the location tried multiple rules...
Please tell me what I have done wrong.
