nginx re-write rules

  • @oldskoo1

    Participant

    Hello,

    I’m having trouble getting the re-write rules to work in nginx for wpmu + bp.

    Various problems, no input file specified, page not found etc, missing images/style sheets etc.

    Does anyone else here run nginx that could share their rules please.

    Thanks!

    I’m using this one (found it on mu.wordpress.org/forums). I’m having problems creating new blogs, but I’m not sure if it’s nginx causing the problem (it works fine with wpmu):

    server
    {

    listen 80;
    server_name DOMAIN.COM *.DOMAIN.COM;

    access_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/DOMAIN.COM.access.log;
    error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/DOMAIN.COM.error.log;

    # rewrite rule for files

    location ~* ^.+.(xml|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js|swf)$
    {
    root /home/web/DOMAIN.COM/www;
    rewrite ^/files(/.*)$ /wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1 last;
    expires 10d;
    break;
    }

    # rewrite rule for sitemap under the lines that handles upload files

    rewrite ^(.*/)?sitemap.xml wp-content/sitemap.php;

    # rewrite errors

    location /
    {
    #auth_basic "Restricted";
    #auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;
    root /home/web/DOMAIN.COM/www;
    index index.php;
    error_page 404 = /index.php?q=$uri;
    }

    #send php requests to fast cgi

    location ~ .php$
    {
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/web/DOMAIN.COM/www$fastcgi_script_name;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
    }

    }

    if it works for you add that in the codex! :)

    For new blogs you’ve to edit your dns zone adding *.yourdomain.com. IN A YO.UR.IP

    and add an alias in config

    nicola, I’ll add it when I know it’s working fine with buddypress. the config above works fine om my wpmu site, but as I said, I’m having problems with a buddypress site. The “problem” is that it’s not creating any errors I can use for debugging (and before you suggest that I should log errors .. I’m do that :)

    I belive I found the bug :) running domain/wp-signup.php worked but domain/members/USER/blogs/create-a-blog didn’t. I suspected the error_page 404 = /index.php?q=$uri; directive and changing that fixed the problem. I changed it to:

    if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
    }

    The comple working DOMAIN.conf is:

    server
    {

    listen 80;
    server_name DOMAIN.COM *.DOMAIN.COM;

    access_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/DOMAIN.COM.access.log;
    error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/DOMAIN.COM.error.log;

    # rewrite rule for files

    location ~* ^.+.(xml|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js|swf)$
    {
    root /home/web/DOMAIN.COM/www;
    rewrite ^/files(/.*)$ /wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1 last;
    expires 10d;
    break;
    }

    # rewrite rule for sitemap under the lines that handles upload files

    rewrite ^(.*/)?sitemap.xml wp-content/sitemap.php;

    # rewrite errors

    location /
    {
    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;
    root /home/web/DOMAIN.COM/www;
    index index.php;
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
    }
    }

    #send php requests to fast cgi

    location ~ .php$
    {
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/web/DOMAIN.COM/www$fastcgi_script_name;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
    }

    }

    forgot to remove the lines protecting my site, you should remove:

    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;

    Helloo sorry bringing up the dead.. but still no luck with Nginx.. is there any fix one?

    my buddypress is fine but in the backend of WPMU administration has “no input specified”.

    WPMU 2.7.1

    buddypress 1.02

    This is not a BuddyPress issue nor a WPMU issue. It has to do with properly setting up a Nginx web server. But, your best bet is to go search the WPMU forums. If you can’t find an answer, post a new thread.

    hi everyone, i tried installing mu via SVN but I couldn’t get to the index page. It’s giving me a 502 error “bad gateway”. Portion of the error logs:

    2009/08/09 09:16:45 [error] 1160#0: *7 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: IP.XXX.XXX.XXX, server: mydomain.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "mydomain.com"
    2009/08/09 09:16:45 [error] 1160#0: *7 open() "/home/public_html/mydomain.com/public/favicon.ico" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: IP.XXX.10X.1XX, server: mydomain.com, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", host: "mydomain.com"

    basically… Connection refused, and favicon

    HELP! :( THanks
