Hi,

I've moved my community (+ Wordpress) to another host. I went from Apache to Nginx.
Everything looks to be working except for the 'friendly url'.

I know Nginx doesn't support htaccess but i don't know the solution.
If i disable the friendly url setting the community works fine...but all my links are broken.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Ronald

Add this to the Nginx configuration. You may need to contact your host to do it.

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

If your IPS suite is not in the document root then modify the paths accordingly:

location /path-to-ips {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /path-to-ips/index.php?$args;
}

 

Thanks Thomas, i have contacted my host to add this.

It works!

Just a followup.... if you want to use the REST API, that will likely need its own "try" parameter block.

Here's the two lines I use in my nginx config file (I'm using Openmediavault and its nginx plugin)

location / {
    index index.html index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location /api/ {
    index index.html index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /api/index.php?$args;
}
