nginx in htaccess folder

yesterday my support install nginx on my server

i found in vbseo htaccess folder

2 files txt

1 is htaccess
and th other is nginx.txt

i upload htaccess to my forums only

but what i do for nginx ? install it or not and how ?

nginx doesn't support htaccess files. That is an apache directive.

If you want to use nginx and have it enabled on your server, you need to add the nginx rules to your nginx.conf file on your server.

thanks Brian for your answer

ok that is mean i delete htaccess files now and give my support nginx txt to add in nginx.conf right ?

If you're running on nginx, the htaccess file will have no effect, so yes you can delete it, and yes, then add the nginx rules to the config file and restart the webserver.

Nginx doesn't look to be enabled on the site in your sig (still showing apache on my server sniffer).

Thanks Brian Iwill inform him

have nice day

how i ensure if it enabled and work with my forum now ?

Thanks Brian

i want to ask you for my forums rule

location /vb/ {

rewrite ^/vb/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$
/vb/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 last;

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/vb/(.*)$ /vb/vbseo.php last;
}

}

if ($request_filename ~ "\.php$" ) {
rewrite ^/vb/(.*)$ /vb/vbseo.php last;
}

is this Right ?!

and do you have experience about NGINX AND HOW TO INSTALL IT etc...

because my support told me this

These directives have been added to your nginx configuration. However I'm
not following how this is to be configured. I'm noticing apache is running
on port 80, but I'm not seeing what port nginx is intended to be run on.

Also, is this s custom configuration on your end? What I'm seeing
doesn't suggest we installed this for you.

What your host is referring to has nothing to do with vBSEO but totatlly to do with your server configuration.

If you wish to use Apache webserver then you should use the .htaccess file. If you want to use NGINX then you need to use the nginx.txt file.

As to how you actually have your server configured NGINX over Apache etc that is something you need to discuss with your host.

I run on a dedicated server,
we went through a lot of different setups to try and keep the load down to as close to 0 as possible...
Currently

nginx, fastcgi, memcache and running silky smooth

I have however not touched the .htaccess or nginx.txt and it does seem to run perfect...
Should I move all .htaccess to nginx.txt?

htaccess has 0 effect under nginx. it's simply a text file.
nging.txt is also just a text file... those commands need to be added into the nginx.conf file on the server and then the service restarted for it to take effect.

as far as i can tell, your site is still running on apache 2.2, not nginx. You should contact your provider to set your site up correctly
