Convert htaccess rules to nginx rules - apache

I have these apache (htaccess) rules and I want to convert them to nginx rules. I have tried a lot of combinations but in vain.
You have the rules below:
RewriteRule ^candybooru/_images/([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{30}).*$ /candybooru/images/$1/$1$2
RewriteRule ^candybooru/_thumbs/([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{30}).*$ /candybooru/thumbs/$1/$1$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^candybooru/(.*)$ /candybooru/index.php?q=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

Maybe you could use this page to convert the rules: http://winginx.com/en/htaccess
The converted rule is:
# nginx configuration
location / {
rewrite "^/candybooru/_images/([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{30}).*$" /candybooru/images/$1/$1$2;
rewrite "^/candybooru/_thumbs/([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{30}).*$" /candybooru/thumbs/$1/$1$2;
}
location /candybooru {
rewrite ^/candybooru/(.*)$ /candybooru/index.php?q=$1&$query_string;
}

Check out try_files. I haven't tested this, but it should work (or come close):
location /candybooru/ {
location ~ "^/candybooru/_(images|thumbs)/([0-9a-f]{2})([0-9a-f]{30})" {
try_files /candybooru/$1/$2/$2$3 /candybooru/index.php?q=$2&$query_string;
}
}

.htaccess rule to NGINX

I have the following .httaccess rule which changes path to logo depending on host. If host ".ru" it takes from /img/up/ru/b-logo instead of /img/up/b-logo
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.ru [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/img/up/)(b-logo)(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) %1ru/%2%3 [L]
Can anybody help me rewrite it for nginx?
Rules from different converters do not work
Try something like this:
map $http_host$uri $lng {
default $uri;
~^example\.ru/img/up/b-logo(.*) /img/up/ru/b-logo$1;
}
server
server_name example.com example.ru;
...
location /img/up/b-logo {
rewrite .* $lng$is_args$args;
}
...
}
nginx location selection algorithm is quite complex (description in russian language), make sure that this location block will take priority against other defined locations.

.htaccess Rewrite Conditions to nginx config - multiple conditions & rewrite

I have the following rewrites in .htaccess:
#exception for shorthand phpthumb links eg /userfiles/myimage.jpg?w=300
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp|JPG|)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ application/third_party/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../../../$1&%1 [NE,L]
It checks that request is for one of the specified (image) files and that has some query string arguments. In that case it should rewrite to an automatic thumbnail script.
I am trying to rewrite that into nginx config. So far I've got this:
location \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp|JPG)$ {
if($args ~ "^(.+)$"){
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /application/third_party/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../../../$1 last;
}
}
I am new to nginx and tried to glue together the new config from some manuals and this converter:
http://www.anilcetin.com/convert-apache-htaccess-to-nginx/
But it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
I have replaced the rewrite with the following:
location ~ /(images|userfiles)/ {
if ($args) {
# alternative shorthand phpthumb links eg /userfiles/myimage.jpg?w=300
rewrite .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ /application/third_party/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../../..$uri last;
}
}

How to rewrite nginx to execute a php file before serving static content?

I am trying to do this in nginx but I just cannot get it to work:
# protect images
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(bmp|gif|ico|jpe|jpeg|jpg|png)$
RewriteRule .* /path-to-file.php [L,QSA]
Tried it with try_files and rewrite, any advice is appreciated!
To rewrite all image URIs to a specific PHP script, you could use a regex location and an internal rewrite:
location ~* \.(bmp|gif|ico|jpe|jpeg|jpg|png)$ {
rewrite ^ /path/to/file.php;
}

Nginx, rewrite multiple subfolders

I try to move my server from Apache towards a Nginx based setting. However, I get into problems getting a part of my htaccess Apache magic to work in Nginx.
The .htaccess code I would like to transfer is:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).html$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/.*/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2&sub=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/.*$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [L,QSA]
I used an online converter that gave me the following location block:
location / {
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1 break;
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).html$ /index.php?page=$1 break;
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/.*/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2&sub=$3 break;
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/.*$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2 break;
}
Sadly, I'm only able to get a single location rewrite to be working at a time (the one I put "last;" behind). I don't seem to be able to do this dynamic rewriting of a multiple subfolder URL into arguments for a single PHP script.
Any help on this? What is the Nginx way of doing such a rewrite? I tried using several location's for different subfolders but I would rather have a generic solution that work no-matter what url's are thrown at it.
Use a different location block for each rule:
location ~ ^/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+/$ {
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1 last;
}
location ~ ^/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+.html$ {
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).html$ /index.php?page=$1 last;
}
location ~ ^/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+/[0-9]+/.*/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$ {
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/.*/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2&sub=$3 last;
}
location ~ ^/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+/[0-9]+/.*$ {
rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/.*$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2 last;
}
location = /index.php {
# your proxy rules here...
}
The rewrite rules above use the last option, which is explained in the nginx docs:
last
stops processing the current set of ngx_http_rewrite_module
directives and starts a search for a new location matching the
changed URI;

Apache mod_rewrite to Nginx rewrite rules

My site is running on Nginx and I am trying to add a software in the sub-directory of the site that uses Apache's mod_rewrite rules. E.g. www.mydomain.com/mySubfolder
Here is the Apache .htaccess
#Options -Indexes
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</ifModule>
So far I managed to get the main page to work but when requesting the login page, it is causing a URL redirect loop. E.g. www.myDomain.com/login
With this:
location /mySubfolder {
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /mySubfolder/index.php?q=$1 last;
break;
}
}
I have been reading and trying to learn how to convert Apache to Nginx and even used the .htaccess to Nginx converter I found at http://winginx.com/htaccess but the tool doesn't seem to recognize the %{REQUEST_URI} ^/system.* part. Upon my research and study, I came up with:
location /mySubfolder {
if ($request_uri ~ "^/(system.*)$") {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ index.php?/$1 last;
}
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.+)$ /mySubfolder/index.php?q=$1 last;
break;
}
}
I am a complete noob at this and was even wondering if I am even close to accomplish this conversion to work. Please help.
Thank you.

You've basically taken the wrong approach to use in Nginx.
Although it is kind of natural to assume that the rewrite rules in Apache would be mapped to the rewrite in Nginx, they aren't. Instead they are mostly mapped to the location rules.
Your block for mySubfolder should look like:
location ^/mySubfolder {
try_files /mySubfolder/index.php?$args =404;
}
You aren't actually rewriting anything - you are just telling nginx that any requests that start with /MySubfolder should be served by the files listed in try_files. btw you have to tell Nginx to pass the query string through which is what the args is doing.
You can append the original URL (i think) though it may be easier just to use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] inside your script.
I believe the rewrite rule you have to the same start URI is causing the /mySubFolder to keep matching.
In Nginx rewriting is only used when you want to make external URL paths be served by different internal urls, and normally the rewrite rule is not inside a location block.
For example I have a file server, that serves up images and other files. I have these rewrite rules in the server block:
rewrite ^/image/(\d+)/(\w+)/(.+)\.([^\.]*)$ /proxy/proxyImage.php?typeID=$1&mode=$2&imagePath=$3.$4&resizeAllowed=TRUE&type=image last;
rewrite ^/image/(\d+)/(.+)\.([^\.]*)$ /proxy/proxyImage.php?typeID=$1&imagePath=$2.$3&resizeAllowed=TRUE last;
rewrite ^/file/(\d+)/(.+)\.([^\.]*)$ /proxy/proxyFile.php?typeID=$1&imagePath=$2.$3&resizeAllowed=FALSE last;
to make the external URLs look nice. But then they are all served by the location block:
location ~* ^/proxy {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/opt/local/var/run/php54/php-fpm-images.sock;
include /documents/projects/intahwebz/intahwebz/conf/fastcgi.conf;
}
The location block doesn't need to know about the URL rewrites because they are done before the location block is encountered.
