Problem with moving posts with Nginx

Oleg , please check your PM

Hello Per,

I tried with your config, and works fine for the rewrites, however i have a problem with folders like admincp/ modcp/ vbseo_sitemap/, they simply don't works, error 404.

In Apache rewrite rules i see that there are some RewriteConds related to this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)

Any idea how can i fix this?

I'm using nginx version: nginx/0.8.53

Thanks!

Yes, using try_files is recommended if your version of nginx supports it, it is much faster!
v0.7.27 and later is required.

Since we do not use the vbseo sitemap generator on our site I have totally skipped that part to improve performance and slim the config...

The only thing which is required is the first 3 lines, however it introduces the bug with moving a select post from one thread to another specified thread described in post 1 in this thread (confusing yet? )

Code:

        location /vb/ {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /vb/vbseo.php;
        }
        location ~ ^/vb/.+\.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/vb/vbseo.php;
            include       fastcgi_params;
        }

So the second part of the config, lines 4>8 is what fixes this, do note that you will need to replace the name /vb/ with the location of your forum, which could be /forums/ for example

Hi Inettive,
Those should be handled by the rewrite rule for normal PHP files, they do not need to go via vbseo.
In the default nginx config file this would be at the end of the file by this rule; (Please note I'm using UNIX sockets instead of TCP in this example).

Code:

        ## Pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
        location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass   unix:/dev/shm/php.sock;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

How would those who have used Nginx say its stability and performance compares to say.... Litespeed?

Code:

        location /vb/ {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /vb/vbseo.php;
        }
        location ~ ^/vb/.+\.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/vb/vbseo.php;
            include       fastcgi_params;
        }

what do I need to insert to make the sitemaps work?

going to

http://myforum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

yields 404

Please help me convert this one

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

to try_files

Hi, you could try something like this.
Since I don't actually use the sitemap feature I have not tested this rewrite at all... (So please provide feedback)

Code:

        location /vb/ {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /vb/vbseo.php;
        }
        location ~ ^/vb/.+\.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass  unix:/dev/shm/php.sock;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/vb/vbseo.php;
            include       fastcgi_params;
        }
        location ^/vb/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?) {
           rewrite ^/vb/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vb/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1;
        }

The proper rules:
Proper vBSEO rewrite rules for Vbulletin 3 | Axivo Community

We are sorry Floren but those rules are not proper rules and Axivo Inc solved nothing for us. Please stop claiming false things.

The proper rewrite rules to use with Nginx and vBSEO are as following ( the same rules i supplied to the thread you created privately )

Code:

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

                        try_files $uri $uri/ /vbseo.php?$args;
        }

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

You still don't want to understand but with this rules , everything ( inline.mod , lastpost on forumhome , moving posts etc..) are working 100% correct.

You can contunie claming what ever you want on your site but please stop claiming things on vBSEO.com
