B. OS: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) x86_64

C. Apps:
   1. MySQL: mysql55-5.5.36-1.ius.el5
   2. PHP: php53u-5.3.28-1.ius.el5
   3. Httpd: --uninstalled--
   4. Lighttpd: --uninstalled--
   5. Nginx: nginx-1.5.10-1.el5

I installed drupal 7 to directory 'reader' in my domain; and my drupal site is: mydomain.com/reader.
And how to configure clean URLs in Nginx?
Thanks!

[MRatWork]

What you mean 'Clean URL'?. Is it mean 'permalink URL'?.

[hoangsang]

Yes. I config like link: https://drupal.org/node/976392
But it not work.

[MRatWork]

Inform here what's your custom nginx config.

[hoangsang]

File config: mydomain.com.conf

Code: [Select]

### begin - web of 'mydomain.com' - do not remove/modify this line


## web for 'mydomain.com'
server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;

    index index.php index.html index.shtml index.htm default.htm Default.aspx Default.asp index.pl;

    set $domain 'mydomain.com';

    set $rootdir '/home/userdomain/mydomain.com';

    root $rootdir;

    set $user 'userdomain';


    ## Add clean URLs 05-03-2014
    # location / {
    #    root   /reader;
    #     index  index.php;
    #     error_page 404 = @reader;
    # }

      location @reader {
         rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
      }

    ## The end


    access_log /home/httpd/mydomain.com/stats/mydomain.com-custom_log main;
    error_log  /home/httpd/mydomain.com/stats/mydomain.com-error_log;

    set $statstype 'awstats';

    include '/home/nginx/conf/globals/awstats.conf';

    set $fpmport '51011';

    include '/home/nginx/conf/globals/php-fpm.conf';

    include '/home/nginx/conf/globals/perl.conf';

    include '/home/nginx/conf/globals/generic.conf';
}


## webmail for 'mydomain.com' handled by ../webmails/webmail.conf


## web for 'mydomain.com'
server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:443;
    listen [::]:443;

    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /home/kloxo/httpd/ssl/eth0___localhost.crt;

If you see /home/nginx/conf/globals.conf and you will find:

Code: [Select]

    location / {
        limit_conn addr 25;

        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }

Where have 2 options:

1. ' limit_conn addr 25' for DDOS protect
2. 'try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php' for generic permalink

So you can copy php-fpm.conf to custom.php-fpm.conf and then modified this custom file related to your need.

Run 'sh /script/fixweb; sh /script/restart-web' after modification.

That it.

[hoangsang]

Code: [Select]

    location / {
        limit_conn addr 25;

        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }I find at '/home/nginx/conf/globals/php-fpm.conf'. But I do not know how to fix it right. And my server runs multiple websites at once.
Please help me!

Clean URL = Permalink URL

 it's built in at kloxo-mr as "generic permalink" which can work on all types of web servers, include drupal clean urls in 'nginx'

so no need to configure it, because automatic work


.......
BTW : I suggest, choose 'nginx-proxy'

[MRatWork]

@zenkul,

Look like:

Code: [Select]

    location / {
        limit_conn addr 25;

        error_page 404 = @permalink;
    }

    location @permalink {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }

is better than:

Code: [Select]

    location / {
        limit_conn addr 25;

        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }

In original code, all request will be 'transfer' to /index.php (I think, it's may problem with '/wp-admin' in wordpress).

In modified code, only 'no exist file' will be 'transfer' to /index.php.

Can you helping me to test above code?.

[hoangsang]

Use URLs like example.com/user instead of example.com/?q=user.
If no need to configure it, the clean URL test failed (Drupal 7).

[zenkul]

sorry, not work at all

result at the new code : 403 Forbidden nginx/1.5.11

[MRatWork]

Yes, not work. In original code look like missing css/js.

I found hiawatha (in Kloxo-MR 6.5.1) work perfectly for wordpress. I am not testing for drupal.

[MRatWork]

Hiawatha also work for Drupal 7 without modified hiawatha config.

See http://test.next.potissima.com for drupal and http://next.potissima.com for wordpress.

[zenkul]

yes, hiawatha is fully compatible with drupal 7

[zenkul]

@hoangsang
I try drupal 7 in 'nginx-proxy'
there is built-in 'microcache'

with drupal modul : 'cache warmer' for trouble handling caused nginx cache
also 'Nginx Accel Redirect' for fast and protection private file
etc

..............
my opinion : using "Nginx only" is very painful, too many uncompatibility with my D7 site, like 'bomb character' and clean url as the last trouble. *note ( I am is common user )
