Apply rewrite rule to nginx vhost from apache vhost

Question

I'm making some tests with nginx.

He works fine, but i'm unable to apply some rewrite rules from apache and nginx doc is not really easy.

Goal : everything has to be rewrited on the /index.php file instead of extra and adminer.

If i browse to http://server/extra/someThing , it's OK, the controller.php file is called.

But for /adminer, i just want to prevent /adminer to be rewrited by the last rule.

location / {
    rewrite ^/extra /extra/controller.php break;
    #rewrite ^/adminer - break;
    rewrite ^/ /index.php break;
}

Any help will be appreciated :)

Answer 1

You could use separate location blocks to partition your rewrite logic. For example:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location /extra {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /extra/controller.php;
}
location /adminer {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
