Hi folks,
I've got my social engine 4 running on Nginx server.
So far I'm having problems getting the rewrite rules to work.
I'm posting the original .HTAccess rewrite rules from apache .
Could some one please help me convert this to nginx rules , PLEASE ?
.... I'm desperate to get this working.
Thanks in advance.

Here's the .htaccess file.

[quote]<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

# Get rid of index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /index\.php
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=2 [L,QSA]

# Rewrite all directory-looking urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

# Try to route missing files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} public\/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(jpg|gif|png|ico|flv|htm|html|php|css|js)$
RewriteRule . - [L]

# If the file doesn't exist, rewrite to index
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

# sends requests /index.php/path/to/module/ to "index.php"
# AcceptPathInfo On

# @todo This may not be effective in some cases

I've got the set up working. BUT everytime I try to access the /install directory there appears to be a loop in Nginx .

I'm pasting my current config .
Does anyone have a suggestion/solution ?
Thanks
