hi there,

I'm new to nginx and trying to configure nginx and uwsgi to get alias+seo url working, something like this:

http://domain.com/shop/product/123 - /shop is an alias and shop dir doesnt exist in filesystem under doc root, and this url trying to pass query string as ?product=123

to get alias working, my config:

[code]
location /shop {
alias /public/webshop;
index main.py;
}

location ~ ^/shop.+\.py$ {
root /public/webshop;
rewrite /shop/(.*\.py?)$ /$1 break;
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:$uwsgi_socket;
}
[/code]

It's working fine, as http://domain.com/shop/ finds "/public/webshop/main.py" and pass to uwsgi socket. However http://domain.com/shop/product/123 always report 404 not found - nginx tries to locate "/public/webshop/product/123" and ofc it's not there.. whereas http://homer.unisport.dk/shop/?product=123 works fine as usual.

What I'm trying is to forward all request starting with /shop to /public/webshop/main.py and let python script parses url. I have tried googled a lot nginx rewrite rules, e.g. [code]
rewrite ^/shop/(.*)$ /$1 permanent;
[/code]
but with no luck. Maybe I'm so bad at understand nginx rewrite, therefore looking for any advice here.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
