I’m trying to install Boost module to work with nginx. As we know Boost does not generate nginx directives just like Apache.
Boost has the following directives for Apache’s .htaccess:
### BOOST START ###
# Allow for alt paths to be set via htaccess rules; allows for cached variants (future mobile support)
RewriteRule .* - [E=boostpath:normal]
# Caching for anonymous users
# Skip boost IF not get request OR uri has wrong dir OR cookie is set OR request came from this server OR https request
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^/(admin|cache|misc|modules|sites|system|openid|themes|node/add|comment/reply))|(/(edit|user|user/(login|password|register))$) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} DRUPAL_UID [OR]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [S=3]
# GZIP
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} !gzip
RewriteRule .* - [S=1]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html -s
RewriteRule .* cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html [L,T=text/html,E=no-gzip:1]
# NORMAL
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html -s
RewriteRule .* cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html [L,T=text/html]
### BOOST END ###
I tried to convert the above code to nginx by using this site to no avail. Here’s the converted code that don’t work:
# nginx configuration
location / {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /cache/$env_boostpath/$http_host$request_uri_$query_string\.html;
rewrite ^(.*)$ /cache/$env_boostpath/$http_host$request_uri_$query_string\.html;
}
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you
My answer:
nginx is not apache. You should be using try_files
, not rewrites, for this sort of thing.
For instance, this was ripped out of a very well done sample Drupal nginx configuration:
try_files /cache/normal/$host${uri}_${args}.html /cache/perm/$host${uri}_.css /cache/perm/$host${uri}_.js /cache/$host/0$uri.html /cache/$host/0${uri}/index.html @drupal;
