NGINX - can anyone confirm please

Hi I am looking for the latest NGINX VBSEO config lines.

With the IF-IS-EVIL in mind.

Has vbseo been updated for the latest nginx.conf lines ?

Would be really good if we had the rewrites without the IF's

Thanks very much

Mick

Hi Mick,

vBSEO comes equipped with a custom ruleset for NGINX that does work just fine on setups of our customers, these rules are ready to use right out of the box.

If any problem arises, we will be glad to assist.

Are these the rules?

Code:

 if ($request_filename ~ "\.php$" ) {
 rewrite ^/(.*)$ /vbseo.php break;
 }
 if (!-e $request_filename) {
 rewrite ^/(.*)$ /vbseo.php break;
 }

If you was to speak igor Sysoev about them rules he would tell you that they are evil

IfIsEvil

Should I post this to the nginx mailing list ?

I just thought it would be good practice for your users to use the best coding practices at all levels.

Regards
Mick

Hello,

nginx rewrite rules included in vBSEO package are using try_files.

That is Great!!!

One thing though, How would you apply that configuration if your forum was your main site... allot of sites now do not have the site in the forums directory they have the root directory set to forum/s.

Thank you very much for your time.

Mick

replace
/forums/

with

in all instances.
