nginx + vBSEO rewrite problem

Hello,

There's this small rewrite problem that I'm encountering with vBSEO and nginx + php-fcgi. On the forum home the links would appear to have been properly rewritten but when you click on the links, they are rewritten back to the old urls.

Example:

If I right click on the "latest post" link on the homepage it shows as "http://www.istorya.net/forums/politics-and-current-events/158852-is-the-acting-mayor-rama-just-a-puppet-of-on-leave-mayor-osmena-new-post.html" but when I click it or even paste it on the browser, it becomes "http://www.istorya.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3755104#post3755104"

Anyone else having this issue? I've tried re-arranging the rewrite rules in nginx as suggested somewhere and went beyond and re-arranged it to all possible combination but nothing seems to be working. Everything else looks fine however. Any help will be highly appreciated.



Best Regards

Hello,

please try this: Problem with moving posts with Nginx

Hi Oleg,

That's my config now and it's still not working. Here's my /forums/ rewrite rules.

Code:

# Forums rewrite
        location /forums/ {

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

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

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

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


        }

Best Regards

Please try to put it to the bottom of your *complete* nginx config list, not just in rewrite rules section.

That one worked to a certain extent... however it still isn't rewriting properly.

Right click shows:

Code:

http://www.istorya.net/forums/networking-and-internet/145206-trixbox-asterisk-vicidial-kung-kama-o-mo-ani-istorya-ta-diri-thanks-new-post.html

Then it rewrites to:

Code:

http://www.istorya.net/forums/networking-and-internet/145206-trixbox-asterisk-vicidial-kung-kama-o-mo-ani-istorya-ta-diri-thanks-3.html#post3757425

It is how it suppose to work

I see. I didn't take notice of how it worked with Apache before... Thanks for the help.

You're welcome

I'm using vbseo as well as nginx, and the album images that i set to file system simply don't show they say page not found (404), any idea why? Thanks

What is an example URL that is not working?

Just noticed another problem. After putting the rewrite rule outside of the "forums" rewrite, it made my gallery inaccessible. Just makes it "blank". There are no error messages as well.

AnimeCrazy.net Forums - The True Anime Streaming Community

Go to the bottom also:

AnimeCrazy.net Forums - The True Anime Streaming Community - Pspcrazy's Album: Test Albume - Picture

but the thumbnail here works so it's not an image issue, it's a rewrite issue:

AnimeCrazy.net Forums - The True Anime Streaming Community - Pspcrazy's Album: Test Albume

Here's my rewrite for the forums:

Code:

server
{
listen 192.168.93.207:80;
server_name realsite.net www.realsite.net;
root /home/user/realsite.net/httpdocs;

if ($host != 'www.realsite.net' ) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.realsite.net/$1 permanent;
}

location ~* i.+\.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$
    {
    expires      7d;
    }

  location /
    {
    index  index.php index.html;

    # Basic version of Wordpress parameters, supporting nice permalinks.
    # include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.regular;
    # Advanced version of Wordpress parameters supporting nice permalinks and WP Super Cache plugin
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.super_cache;
    }


location /forums/ {
root /home/user/realsite.net/httpdocs;
rewrite ^/forums/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 last;

if (-f $request_filename) {
expires 30d;
break;
}

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

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

}


location ~* \.(php)$
{
root /home/user/realsite.net/httpdocs;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}

I believe I had fixed this issue when i was using apache by having the word album|avatar|sigpic or something that looked like that in my old htaccess which i can't find.

The folder I use for albums is album , and i use the file system for them.

What code do you suggest I use to get them to work? Thanks

Gerald,

please try to change that section to:

Code:

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

Here's my rewrite for the forums:

Please try to remove this part temporarily to see if it affects those URLs:

Code:

location ~* i.+\.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$
    {
    expires      7d;
    }

Works like a charm Oleg. Thanks! ^_^

pspcrazy, like Oleg said... either let images go through vbseo or disable rewrites for images.
