Hi,

I am migrating from Apache server to Nginx.

I am finding it very difficult. My Nginx version is 0.8.5.3 on Redhat server.

Below is my conf file.
===================================
server {
listen www.testdomain.com:80;
server_name www.testdomain.com testdomain.com;

location / {
root /home/vhosts/testdomain.com/httpdocs/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}

rewrite "^/us$" /us/ permanent; break;

#if (!-f $request_filename){
# set $rule_3 1$rule_3;
#}
#if (!-d $request_filename){
# set $rule_3 2$rule_3;
#}
#if ($rule_3 != "21"){
# rewrite /. /rewriteurl.php;
#}

try_files $uri /rewriteurl.php;


# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {

root /home/vhosts/testdomain.com/httpdocs;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;

include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
error_page 404 $document_root/errorpage.php;
}

}
==============================

As you can see I am simply trying to do redirection of non existing files or directory into one single file rewriteurl.php where I am handing all the rewriteurl cases.

I have also tried to setup using if -d and -f option but that also does not seem to work.

But somehow this is not working.

Can some buddy help me. I am in deep trouble here???

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance.

1. move the root directive outside the "location /" block into the server block

2. move "error_page 404 /errorpage.php" into the server block

2. alter fastcgi configuration as described below:

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}

3. remove: "rewrite "^/us$" /us/ permanent; break;" as it makes no sense

4. move "fastcgi_intercept_errors on;" into the http block

5. go and see the manual, find example configurations on google and learn from those
