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 / { ... }.

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:

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. Cool

One more bit I found on this topic.

I noticed lines such as this in my nginx error log:

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:

rewrite "^/directory.php/all/(\d{1,})/(\d{1,})$" /directory.php?topic=all&year=$1&month=$2 last;


to this:

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.

Recently moved my geeklog (+6,000 posts, +10,000 forum posts, +2500 users, 60 MB database, almost 20 years of data) to a new URL at https://blog.alcancelibre.org . New server uses Nginx+PHP-FPM. So, here you have the full Nginx/PHP-FPM configuration needed for Geeklog 2.2.*.
=======

Configuration for Nginx virtual host:

Text Formatted Code

server {
    listen 80;
    # Let certbot deal with the https support.
    server_name www.yourdomain.net;
    root /home/username/public_html;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/yourdomain-access_log main;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/yourdomain-error_log notice;
    charset UTF-8;
    # The value of client_max_body_size has to be the same as the values
    # of PHP upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
    client_max_body_size 128M;
    client_body_buffer_size 128M;
    server_tokens off;
    # This file has the options for gzip compression.

    # layout theme are listed here. Otherwise your website will not display!
    # Enable and test. Disable again if you do not know how to get all the external CDNs.
