See http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpRewriteModule.

Assuming your doc root is /var/www/ws, try

location /wiki/ {

if (!-e $request_filename) {

rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 last;

}

rewrite ^/(images|skins)\/(.*)$ http://images.testsite.com/$1/$2 last;

}

You may need to add a forward slash in front of http in the second line.

Good luck,

Jim

Hello,

I am currently trying to get a deployment ready in an attempt to migrate my wiki from apache to nginx and php-fpm. Things have gone pretty smoothly so far, but I am having a real problem with rewrite rules. Here is what is currently in my apache config for a rewrite:

<Directory "/var/www/ws/wiki"> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(images|skins)\/(.*)$ http://images.testsite.com/$1/$2 [L] </Directory>

I have tried adding this a couple of different ways into the nginx config file but it isn't working. Can someone give me a hand with this? Also, where can I find docs on the rewrite functionality within nginx?

I appreciate any and all help,

Andrew
