Rewrite URL on Site using Nginx

Question

I currently have my URL like so:

mysite.com/test/?country=uk&number=1234&search=British+Telecom&limit=8

which I want to be like this:

mysite.com/test/uk/1234/British-Telecom/8

I am familiar with Apache mod_rewrite to some extent but never come across Nginx version. Anyone have an idea?

Something else I found is that the site is Wordpress and normal pages work fine with the url being rewritten, but my code is in a separate non-wp folder. How come WP's .htaccess seems to work when Apache is not running?

Another complication is that I have Varnish cache working - could this interfere?

Answer 1

you must capture get variables with ([^/]*) regex and then use it with $1 , $2 ...

use a htaccess like this :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^test/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$     ./yourScript.php?country=$1&number=$2&search=$3&limit=$4 [L]

change yourScript.php with your script name .
