I'm migrating from Apache to Nginx. So far Geeklog works pretty good in my tests. I'm pleased to share with you the rewrite rules needed to make work the url rewrite of geeklog. Just put them inside
location / { ... }.
CONFIG Formatted Code
rewrite ^/article.php/(.*)$ /article.php?story=$1 last;
rewrite ^/staticpages/index.php/(.*)$ /staticpages/index.php?page=$1 last;
rewrite ^/links/portal.php/link/(.*)$ /links/portal.php?what=link&item=$1 last;
rewrite "^/directory.php/all/(\d{1,})/(\d{1,})$" /directory.php?topic=all&year=$1&month=$2 last
If you run Geeklog as nonroot directory, such as
location /geeklog { ... }, use these ones:
CONFIG Formatted Code
rewrite ^/geeklog/article.php/(.*)$ /geeklog/article.php?story=$1 last;
rewrite ^/geeklog/staticpages/index.php/(.*)$ /geeklog/staticpages/index.php?page=$1 last;
rewrite ^/geeklog/links/portal.php/link/(.*)$ /geeklog/links/portal.php?what=link&item=$1 last;
rewrite "^/geeklog/directory.php/all/(\d{1,})/(\d{1,})$" /geeklog/directory.php?topic=all&year=$1&month=$2 last;
Dirk, please it would be worderful if these get included in Geeklog documentation. Will spare lots of suffering to Nginx users.
Enjoy!
THANK YOU for this.
I tried migrating from apache to nginx a while back and failed. These rules solve the issue I was having where the initial site would load ok but would get 404 for any article when I had search engine friendly urls enabled.
I now have geeklog running with nginx and php-fpm.
One more bit I found on this topic.
I noticed lines such as this in my nginx error log:
PLAIN Formatted Code
2016/09/15 21:14:21 [error] 4431#0: *79935 open() "/var/www/path/to/site/blog/directory.php/running/2016/1" failed (20│··
: Not a directory), client: 128.227.144.179, server: thatlinuxbox.com, request: "GET /blog/directory.php/running/2016/1 HTTP/1.1│··
", host: "thatlinuxbox.com", referrer: "http://thatlinuxbox.com/blog/directory.php"
Browsing the site, from the Directory page, if one selects a topic other than "All" and then tries to view a particular month, the request will fail.
Changing the hard-coded "all" to instead capture the supplied topic name seems to work.
Change this line:
CONFIG Formatted Code
rewrite "^/directory.php/all/(\d{1,})/(\d{1,})$" /directory.php?topic=all&year=$1&month=$2 last;
to this:
CONFIG Formatted Code
rewrite "^/directory.php/(.*)/(\d{1,})/(\d{1,})$" /directory.php?topic=$1&year=$2&month=$3 last;
Thanks again joelbarrios for sharing your original set of rules.
