Hey guys,
Hoping somebody can help me out with a problem that has me scratching my head for two days. I've re-create my apache website on a different server using nginx+php-fpm+mysql. It is a joomla 1.5.26 website. I have almost eveything working and the only thing left is the search functionality.
Lets say that my website is called food.com and I am on my homepage. If i type in the word "food" into the joomla search, my address bar changes to http://www.food.com/search.html?ordering=&searchphrase=all&searchword=food. No problem, the search works great from my homepage.
Now let's say that I am reading an article at http://www.food.com/breads/goodbreads.html and I type in the word food into the joomla search. The address bar changes to http://www.food.com/breads/index.php and I get a "404 not found" error.
If I do the same thing on my apache website, the address bar always changes to http://www.food.com/search.html?ordering=&searchphrase=all&searchword=food - no matter where i am in the site.
I know why I get the error - because nginx is requesting index.php from food.com/breads/. Obviously since its a CMS that directory does not exist. My problem is that I don't know why it requesting index.php. I don't know why it works from the homepage and not anywhere else. I'm pretty sure I need some url rewriting but I don't know where to start.
Any help is appreciated. Below is my nginx config.
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name xyz;
access_log /srv/www/www.xyz.com/logs/access.log;
error_log /srv/www/www.xyz.com/logs/error.log info;

deny all;
}
location / {

}
