Migration failed from htaccess to nginx configuration

Question

I'm in process of migration from .htaccess to nginx.conf file but after migration rules doesn't work as I expected. This is content of .htaccess that I'm gonna migrato to nginx.

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?$1 [L,QSA]

And this is content of nginx.conf that I've migrated:

index index.php

location / {
    rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 break;
}

Please let me know what's wrong with this and how can I get nginx conf file works.

Regards. Yuming

Answer 1

Those .htaccess statements perform a similar function to the Nginx try_files directive.

Try:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri;
}
