Hello,

I am migrating all my sites from apache to nginx server. Since I am fairly new with nginx and not very experienced with apache rewrite rules I would need help converting one rewrite rule to my nginx:

Here is my apache rewrite rule:
RewriteRule (.*)\.html index.php?module=website&action=$1

and here is with what I come up in nginx but is not working. I am getting a blank page:
rewrite (.*)\.html /index.php?module=website&action=$1;

thanks in advance for your help.

regards,
zozo6015

location ~ ^(?<path>.*)\.html$ {
include fasctgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING "module=website&action=$path"
fastcgi_pass ...;
}

Andrejs

Thanks,

I have some other problem now. I am using smarty templating system which should be generating temporary files. That works perfect on apache but the temporarly files are not generated on nginx however it has write access to the tmp folder.

Thanks
