Hi all,
I am trying to convert this htaccess file to nginx config and it is not working.
Here is my .htaccess

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
FileETag None
<FilesMatch "(?i)^.*\.(ico|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css)$">
Header unset Last-Modified
Header set Expires "Fri, 21 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT"
Header set Cache-Control "public, no-transform"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^((.)?)$ index.php?p=home [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L]

RewriteCond $1 !^(\#(.)*|\?(.)*|\.htaccess(.)*|\.htaccess\.back(.)*|.idea\/(.)*|.svn\/(.)*|admin\.php(.)*|content\/(.)*|download\.php(.)*|ecc\/(.)*|images\/(.)*|index\.php(.)*|install\/(.)*|login\.php(.)*|readme\.txt(.)*|robots\.txt(.)*)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css|ico|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

and here is my config. I can get it to somewhat work if I only use one of the following lines but then the rest is broke!



location / {
if ($query_string ~ "^$"){
rewrite ^/((.)?)$ /index.php?p=home break;
}
if (-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /$1 break;
}
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1&$query_string break;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}

}


Not to mention that I hate using the if else clauses in my nginx config because I think I read where it is poor for performance.

Can someone give me a hand here. I have been working on this for hours without any luck.
