Converting Apache Mod Rewrite rules to NGINX

Question

I am currently hosting a copy of ShoutCast Manager, so that people can stream audio and configure their streams using a web interface.

I am using Apache 2.4 web server as the HTTP server and it seems to have an issue with handling large upload files. I've edited my Apache configuration to allow the upload of larger files, as well as increased the timeout limit. PHP has also been given an increased timeout limit, as well as an increased memory limit of 512MiB.

When uploading audio files with sizes in excess of 200MiB, the server responds with "Service Unavailable" and the file upload doesn't complete.

As such, I wish to move to NGINX as my web server solution and I am having issues with converting my rewrite rules to ones that work with NGINX. The rules I am currently using with Apache are as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^errors/500/$ ./500.php [L,QSA]
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500/

Any help with making NGINX compatible rewrite rules would be super appreciated!

Answer 1

This is untested, but this should do the trick

error_page 500 /errors/500/;    
error_page 404 /errors/404/;    
error_page 403 /errors/403/;

SHOUTcast manager should function normally under NGINX too!

Try this tool. The tool converts an Apache's .htaccess to nginx configuration instructions. https://winginx.com/en/htaccess
