Roots rewrites and Nginx

1

Hi everyone,

I installed wordpress into mysite-com/blog/ , then installed ROOTS. My root domain has Invision Power Board installed.

I’m trying to get roots rewrites working to rename the asset URLs, etc.

Q2) Am I supposed to install both the ROOTS rewrites plugin, and add the rewrite try files stuff to my vhost file, or just the vhost info as stated here?

Here’s my current vhost config:

server {
	listen		80;
	server_name	mysite.com www.mysite.com.com;
	root		/www/sites/mysite.com/html;
	access_log	/var/log/nginx/mysite.com.access.log;
	error_log	/var/log/nginx/mysite.com.error.log warn;
	include "standard.conf";


	# Directives to send expires headers and turn off 404 error logging.
	location ~* ^.+\.(ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|mp4|ttf|rss|atom|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|ppt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf)$ {
	       access_log off; log_not_found off; expires max;
	}

	location / {
		index index.php index.html index.htm;
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
	}

	#Blog rewrites

	location ~ ^/blog/assets/(img|js|css|fonts)/(.*)$ {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/wp-content/themes/roots/assets/$1/$2;
	}
	location ~ ^/blog/plugins/(.*)$ {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/wp-content/plugins/$1;
	}


	location /blog {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php?$args;
#                include "w3.conf";

	}

	location ~* ^/(uploads|hooks|cache)/.*\.(php|cgi|pl|py|php3|php4|php5|php6|phtml|shtml)$ {
		deny all;
	}

        location ~ \.php$ {
	        try_files $uri =404;
        	fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        	#NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
        	include fastcgi_params;
        	fastcgi_index index.php;
        	fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        	fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-mysite.com.sock;
        }

}

Thank you

You need both the plugin and the Nginx rewrites. We’re not really going to support that plugin - we recommend you use Bedrock which will also give you cleaner URLs.

Thanks for the reply. I got the rewrites working. The homepage still prompts a download prompt, so probably something wrong with my config but I’ll have to figure that out somewhere else I’m assuming.

Thank you
