Help with htaccess conversion. After conversion it's downloading a php file instead of redirecting (no replies)

titooo — Mon, 27 May 2013 05:34:21 -0400

Hi,

I just migrated one of my websites from apache and I'm having some problems with htaccess conversion.
Here is the htacces I had on apache that worked perfectly:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^feed.xml %{HTTP_SERVER}/feed.php [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml %{HTTP_SERVER}/sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*) %{HTTP_SERVER}/tags.php?t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^type/(.*) %{HTTP_SERVER}/category.php?c=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^about/(.*) %{HTTP_SERVER}/infos.php?s=$1 [L]

And that's what I got after doign the conversion with http://winginx.com/htaccess and adding it to /etc/nginx/sites-available/mydomain.com:

# nginx configuration

location /feed {
rewrite ^/feed.xml /$http_server/feed.php break;
}

location /sitemap {
rewrite ^/sitemap.xml /$http_server/sitemap.php break;
}

location /tag {
rewrite ^/tag/(.*) /$http_server/tags.php?t=$1 break;
}

location /type {
rewrite ^/type/(.*) /$http_server/category.php?c=$1 break;
}

location /about {
rewrite ^/about/(.*) /$http_server/infos.php?s=$1 break;
}

After that I restarted nginx and php-fpm services but once I try to acces to one of those urls it downloads a file instead of doing the redirection. Could anyone help me to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Nginx & Wordpress (1 reply)

alexandruv — Fri, 24 May 2013 02:44:10 -0400

Hello!

I'm having a hard time with nginx & wordpress. Specifically I installed/configured WP on http://www.busybabybook.com/blog/ and all seems to be ok EXCEPT for the fact that in the wp-admin/ I can't see: Media, Posts return an "Invalid post type", there are no Pages (but in fact I have 2: Contact and About).

Also, i would like to redirect www.busybabybook.com to www.busybabybook.com/blog/ but i've got no idea how to make this work without any problems in nginx.

This is my vhost:

Thank you in advance for helping out!

Nginx1.2.8-JBoss5 vs Apache2.4 EventMPM-JBoss5 (no replies)

howmanyi — Thu, 02 May 2013 20:54:36 -0400

I am comparing Nginx's performance to Apache2.4 EventMpm's.

Four Jboss instances is load-balanced and proxied by upstream and proxy_pass in Nginx, and by mod_jk in Apache2.4.

I am stress-testing increasing 1 vuser/sec up to 130 vusers for 10 minutes.

I was supposed that Nginx's TPS is higher than Apache2.4, but the result is not.

What I found one thing is that total requests amount from Nginx to JBoss is much lower than from Apache to JBoss.

In Apache, one Jboss instance's currentThreadsBusy is abount 50,
but one Jboss instance's currentThreadsBusy is abount 25, half of Apache's case.

Established connections between client and WebServer(Nginx or Apache) is almost the same.

I think that incoming amount from Nginx to Jboss is lower and it makes lower TPS.

Is there the way to make Nginx' TPS higher?

The following is nginx.conf.

worker_processes 2;

events {
worker_connections 8192;
#multi_accept on;
}

upstream myproject {
server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080;
server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8180;
server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:8080;
server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:8180;
}

location ~ \.jsp$ {
proxy_pass http://myproject;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
}

location ~ \.mcifm$ {

Rewrite rules / apache > nginx (downloads php files) (1 reply)

StimpMedia — Sun, 05 May 2013 16:49:12 -0400

Dear people,

I'm stuck with a third party designed website that needs to run for a brief time on nginx (to improve the speed). There is a new site in development but for the time being it has to work. The current Apache rewrite config below:

---
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^([A-Z]{2,3})/rss/(.*)/$ index.php?changelang=$1&p=rss&rsssub=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^rss/(.*)/$ index.php?p=rss&rsssub=$1 [L]

#check if file exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/scripts/(.*)$ scripts/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/cats/(.*)$ cats/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/cms/(.*)$ cms/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/images/(.*)$ images/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ images/cp/geen_foto\.gif [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/css/(.*)$ css/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]{2,3})/index\.php?(.*)$ index.php?changelang=$1&pid=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php?(.*)$ index.php?pid=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]{2,3})/$ index.php?changelang=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]{2,3})/(.*)\.html$ index.php?changelang=$1&userurl=$2\.html [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?userurl=$1\.html [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]{2,3})/(.*)/$ index.php?changelang=$1&userurl=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?userurl=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)\.html$ index.php [L]
---

When I convert the rules I get:

----
location / {
rewrite "^/([A-Z]{2,3})/rss/(.*)/$" /index.php?changelang=$1&p=rss&rsssub=$2 break;
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/(.*)/scripts/(.*)$ /scripts/$2 break;
}
rewrite ^/(.*)/cats/(.*)$ /cats/$2 break;
rewrite ^/(.*)/cms/(.*)$ /cms/$2 break;
rewrite ^/(.*)/images/(.*)$ /images/$2 break;
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/images/(.*)$ /images/cp/geen_foto\.gif break;
}
rewrite ^/(.*)/css/(.*)$ /css/$2 break;
rewrite "^/([A-Z]{2,3})/index\.php?(.*)$" /index.php?changelang=$1&pid=$2 break;
rewrite "^/([A-Z]{2,3})/$" /index.php?changelang=$1 break;
rewrite "^/([A-Z]{2,3})/(.*)\.html$" /index.php?changelang=$1&userurl=$2\.html break;
rewrite ^/(.*)\.html$ /index.php?userurl=$1\.html break;
rewrite "^/([A-Z]{2,3})/(.*)/$" /index.php?changelang=$1&userurl=$2 break;
rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /index.php?userurl=$1 break;
rewrite ^/(.*)/(.*)\.html$ /index.php break;
}

location /rss {
rewrite ^/rss/(.*)/$ /index.php?p=rss&rsssub=$1 break;
}

location /index {
rewrite ^/index\.php?(.*)$ /index.php?pid=$1 break;
}
----

This results in non working rewrite rules and the PHP files are just being downloaded. I know If statements are not done and try_files must be used but I miss the expertise to correct this errors. Is there someone who can help me out with this?

tine20 how to translate apache rewrites? (no replies)

Jiff — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:33:26 -0400

Hi forumers,

I'm trying to get tine20 running under nginx but I don't know how to translate apache rewrites:

# ActiveSync
RewriteRule ^Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync index.php?frontend=activesync [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]

# WebDAV / CalDAV / CardDAV
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|POST)$
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^addressbooks index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^calendars index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^webdav index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^principals index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]

I have no idea for lines above.

# OpenID
RewriteRule ^users/(.*) index.php?frontend=openid&username=$1 [L,QSA]

For this last line, Is this correct? (root is /usr/share, tine20 is /usr/share/tine20)
rewrite ^/tine20/users/(.*) index.php?frontend=openid&username=$1;

Proper way to redirect on specific countries with GeoIP (1 reply)

fastcgi_param GEOIP_LONGITUDE $geoip_longitude;

What I am trying to do but can't figure out how to with NGINX is to catch any incoming hit to the server regardless of the domain or subdomain to redirect to a specific link. I have been trying what I can find online, which most point to using, if's which from my understanding should be avoided. So I am trying to sort out the actual proper method. I have Varnish on my front end

So say someone from Germany hits the server, I want NGINX to be able to catch the request and redirect to a specific page all the rest work as normal. I am thinking if I add something after my define in http in the nginx.conf file would be the best place to catch it.

Thank you for any help on this and if I need to post more about my config let me know.

HTTP 499 timeouts. NginX and PHP-FPM (2 replies)

TFATM — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:15:22 -0400

Hi everyone, I am hoping that someone on here can help me sovle this before I'm forced to move back to Apache where I know this just works.

I have a PHP script which can take a 3 minutes to execute and which runs fine from the command-line using php. however, when I trigger the script from a web page, I receive a HTTP 499 response within the nginx access logs 60 seconds after the request is made.

Reading around online I've made the following NginX config changes to try to force the server to run for more than 60 seconds:
- Within the location directive
fastcgi_send_timeout 1200;
fastcgi_read_timeout 1200;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 1200

- Within the server directive
client_header_timeout 1200;
client_body_timeout 1200;
keepalive_timeout 600;

On the PHP side, I've set the php-fpm config setting to include:

request_terminate_timeout = 1200s
request_terminate_timeout = 0

On the main PHP.ini side I've set:

max_execution_time = 1200
default_socket_timeout = 1200
mysql.connect_timeout = 1200

When I run a phpinfo() on the webserver I can see all of these PHP config settings have been picked up and yet still when I run the script I receive the HTTP/1.1 499 response after only 60 seconds.

The script has been successfully run against:
1. The PHP cli
2. The PHP-CGI cli
3. Apache 2.4.2

I'm running NginX 1.1.19 and PHP 5.4.11

I've exhausted everything I can think off, and all of my searches online turn up either unanswered questions or point to increasing the fast_cgi settings within the Nginx which I have done witihn the sites-enabled/ config.

Sadly if I can't find a solution soon, I will have to ditch NginX for this project, so any help would be greatly appreciated

Loss of 20ms after migrating from Lighttpd to NGINX (no replies)

bschrader — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:31:25 -0400

Hi everyone,

we want to migrate many many webservers from lighttpd/1.4.28 to NGINX/1.2.7. After migrating some smaller webservers we saw a significant increase of about 20ms (sometimes more, sometimes less) on the response times.

We are using scgi and php5-fpm, we also do only log the response times of scgi, so fpm can also be ignored in this equation.

As there is no "tweaking" of our side for scgi i wanted to ask you if you can imagine any settings we should use.

location ~ ^/($|some|stuff) {
include scgi_params;

#scgi_buffer_size 4K;
#scgi_buffers 512 4k;
scgi_pass our_sockets;
}

upstream our_sockets {
least_conn;

server unix:/tmp/our.socket.for_nginx.1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=5s;
[..14 times]
}

We think that a part of the problem is the db-query time, because regarding our graphs, after an upgrade the response time of the DB increases, see attachments. For some reason nginx seems to handle this in a completly other way than lighttpd, and i can't find any solution for this. :(

The attached gamestat_queries-daily.png shows you the increase in response time (Thu 11:00) of the db querys, note that the querys per second didn't increased.

The gamestat-daily.png shows you also the response time of Site-Requests, be careful here, the db-time is already included in site-time.

Old Environment is:
Webservers:
Debian Squeeze
Lighttpd/1.4.28 => NGINX/1.2.7
php/5.3.13
Usage of fastcgi/scgi => php-fpm/scgi

DB-Server:
Debian Squeeze
postgresql 9.0.6

Bernhard

We are trying to move a photopost installation from Apache to nginx and are having difficulties with the rewrite rules. Photopost provides some VERY basic rewrite rules for Apache and we have tried to convert them to nginx but apparently have failed miserably. Here are the .htaccess rules:

RewriteEngine on

This is what we converted them to for nginx:

However, these rules are not working for us and only result in a 404. Can anyone shed any light on where we're going wrong here?

Hello everybody,

I'm currently trying to migrate from an physical apache server, serving as frontendserver for a few tomcats to a virtualized nginx and a view tomcats running in virtual machines.
Everything seems to work fine, as long as there is no switch from https to http. The application I need to run on the tomcats serves an loginpage by http, but the post-request when you click "login" is ssl-encrypted. If someone misspelled the password or username, he gets an error-page, which seems to be serverd by http. Whenever i watch what is going on with e.g. Firebug, I can see a https postrequest after klicking login (with wrong password) and afterwards getting http-status 302 and an redirect to something like http://www.example.com/some/errorpage?parms=value&ohter=othervalue. This is how it works with apache2 as proxy. Using nginx results in an redirect to something like this: https://www.example.com:80/some/errorpage?parms=value&ohter=othervalue. This results in an SSL-Error and Firefox tells "error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long".
Any hint would be apreciated.
My config is posted in the attachment.

Migrated custom WP site, some stuff not working (1 reply)

Rosewood — Tue, 07 May 2013 08:05:17 -0400

We have a custom WP site that we are having to migrate from Apache to nginx and while most things are working ok, some big things are not.

For example on our custom plugin our url structure looks like this: domain.com/causes-details/PERMALINK ; PERMALINK is the field we use in the db to populate the cause information. In wordpress that is just a page with no content and a special theme page.

It works fine in apache, it doesn't work at all in nginx. We get a null page.

In the root directory on the apache site there is an .htaccess file that looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

So I tossed it into a converter http://www.anilcetin.com/convert-apache-htaccess-to-nginx/ and I get

if (-e $request_filename){
set $rule_0 1;
}
if ($request_filename ~ "-l"){
set $rule_0 1;
}
if (-d $request_filename){
set $rule_0 1;
}
if ($rule_0 = "1"){
#ignored: "-" thing used or unknown variable in regex/rew
}
rewrite ^/.*$ /index.php last;

But that doesn't really fix anything on the site. So without that in there, this is what my nginx config looks like:

server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/domain.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?args;
}
location ~ /\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
location ~ ~$ { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?args;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass php5-fpm-sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
}

is it possible to run xt-commerce on nginx? (1 reply)

ovidiu — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 03:50:46 -0500

I googled for hours but can't find an answer to this question. Checking the requirements to run xt-comerce: http://www.xt-commerce.co.uk/shop-software/functions/system-requirements.html I'd say it is definitely possible and my server fullfills all of those requirements yet no luck.

Basically I'm moving an existing xt-commerce site onto a new server - it was previously hosted on apache2 so I attempted to convert the working .thaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/media/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/extAdmin/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/skin/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/js/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule .* index.php

into

if ($uri !~ "^/media/"){
set $rule_0 1$rule_0;
}
if ($uri !~ "^/extAdmin/"){
set $rule_0 2$rule_0;
}
if ($uri !~ "^/skin/"){
set $rule_0 3$rule_0;
}
if ($uri !~ "^/js/"){
set $rule_0 4$rule_0;
}
if (!-f $request_filename){
set $rule_0 5$rule_0;
}
if (!-d $request_filename){
set $rule_0 6$rule_0;
}
if ($request_filename !~ "-l"){
set $rule_0 7$rule_0;
}
if ($rule_0 = "7654321"){
rewrite /.* /index.php;
}

but no luck so far. All I can find in nginx's error log is this:

2013/02/11 17:49:34 [crit] 308390#0: *78 open() "/var/www/saimafashion.com/web/" failed (13: Permission denied), client: 41.185.135.5, server: saimafashion.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "www.saimafashion.com"

And if I open http://www.saimafashion.com/ you can see the error for yourself...

Anyone able to help me out here?

Is Tomcat compatible? (2 replies)

victorsk — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:52:52 -0400

Hello all,

I'm a java developer and we use Tomcat as web container. I am very impressed with Nginx and would like to make use of it. Can Tomcat be somehow be integrated with nginx? Will there be improvement in performance? If Tomcat can be integrated into Nginx, is there a documentation I can read?

Thanks,
Victor.

Clean URL with slash arguments? (2 replies)

oo — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:17:12 -0500

Hey,

Apache (at least apache2) seems to do this automatically on default, but I have tried to figure out how to mimic it under Nginx for serveral days now. Maybe this is the place where someone has the answer how to do this:

1) I have for example http://localhost/user/edit.php
2) I have for example http://localhost/admin/organization/edit.php

Both take several get-parameters and if they get them in "slash format", it's ok (I'm using my own MVC framework).

I would like to have a) clean urls (no .php extension) and slash arguments at the same time, so that:

1) http://localhost/user/edit/id/1 would work
2) http://localhost/admin/organization/edit/id/1/something/else works

The problem for me is, that with "try_files" or "rewrite" and/or regex in "fastcgi_split_path_info" it's hard to detect, which part is the actual script and which are the get-parameters.

A beer at our local bar for the friendly person who helps me out here (in Helsinki Finland)! ;)

Thanks,
Olli

Moved from Apache, now redirect is broken (1 reply)

vwyoda — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:49:48 -0500

I am trying to migrate all my sites to NGINX from apache2. One of my sites does a cloaking of the link in a button, which sends them to a page with just a simple redirect.

With Apache2 it just worked, now with NGINX it just hangs on the redirect, but if I type out the full URL path where the redirect file is it works. So seems like NGINX is doing something I am not getting yet.

Here is the code in case this is actually the cause...

index.php - Where the continue button is.. This is only the continue button code.

" />

Here is the actual redirect in the file that it is sending this to.
require_once "../php/config.php";
header("Location: ".DESTINATION);

In config.php DESTINATION is set to http://google.com .. When its hit, just hangs trying to connect then eventually times out.

Any help is greatly appriciated. If I need to post my configs as well, just let me know which ones and I will gladly post them. Also sorry I can't seem to get [code][/code] tags to work for the post.

Switch from Apache 1.3.x to NGinx (1 reply)

miky — Tue, 07 May 2013 08:19:59 -0400

Hello,

I'm using Apache 1.3.x along with gzip, url rewriting, php, mod expires and ssl.
I've started to work on my NGinx configuration with gzip modules according to the documentation and I think I'll be ok with that.

I would like to know how to replaces mod expires. I have now a .htaccess in each directory containing the configuration
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault A60
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000

Could you confirm that I have to use the module HttpHeadersMoreModule ?

Also, it seems that the configuration for this behavior is very centralised into the nginx.conf file. What do you suggest to have a different "expires" depending on the directory. With Apache it's easy, you place the .htaccess within the directory.

Thank you

Magento Rewritebase (no replies)

sannisinas — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 09:40:08 -0500

Hello,

First off all, I love your product :-) I am setting up my test system with nginx and magento is a lot faster with nginx.
Thanks for that. I have one problem where I would like some help if possible.

In my magento setup I have 2 stores, one dutch and one german for example.
The dutch one is the default and works fine. The second store is the same URL but with /de at the end.
In apache I just created a folder /de with symlinks to the correct magento folder, added a .htaccess with below and
it would work. With nginx the first page is working, but any page after that is a 404, I think because of the rewritebase /de

How should I do that with nginx?

## enable rewrites

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

############################################
## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

RewriteBase /de
