Wordpress Ngnix Rewrite Rules
From Brian Nelson Ramblings
Wordpress + Nginx Rewrite Rules
After installing Nginx you noticed that it does not play nice with the default .htaccess rewrite rules.
You will want to add the following to your vhost file for nginx.
To get the default wordpress to function correctly without custom rewrite rules, add the following to your vhost file.
vim /path/to/your/vhost.conf
Add the following
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
}
Now check and make sure all syntax is correct
nginx -t
Then restart nginx if all is correct
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
