On Nginx, I am using this for WordPress

# WordPress pretty URLs: (as per dominiek.com)

if (-f $request_filename) {

break;

}

if (-d $request_filename) {

break;

}

rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;



# Enable nice permalinks for WordPress: (as per Yawn.it)

error_page  404  = //index.php?q=$uri;

and I want something similar for bbPress. Please share the solution!

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

There must be someone who is using bbPress on Nginx or maybe Sam can share!

This will probably work:

rewrite ^/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 last;

rewrite ^/forum/([^/]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forum/?$ / permanent;

rewrite ^/topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 last;

rewrite ^/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /bbpress/topic.php?id=$1 last;

rewrite ^/topic/?$ / permanent;

rewrite ^/tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 last;

rewrite ^/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 last;

rewrite ^/tags/?$ /tags.php last;

rewrite ^/profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 last;

rewrite ^/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 last;

rewrite ^/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 last;

rewrite ^/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1 last;

rewrite ^/profile/?$ /profile.php last;

rewrite ^/view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 last;

rewrite ^/view/([^/]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/?$ /rss.php last;

rewrite ^/rss/topics/?$ /rss.php?topics=1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?forum=$1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/forum/([^/]+)/topics/?$ /rss.php?forum=$1&topics=1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?topic=$1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?tag=$1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/tags/([^/]+)/topics/?$ /rss.php?tag=$1&topics=1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?profile=$1 last;

rewrite ^/rss/view/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?view=$1 last;



if ( !-e $request_filename ) {

rewrite ^ /index.php last;

}

Thanks Sam! I will get back once I have tried them.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I am sure that I am doing something wrong here.

This is the vhost for the domain :

server {



listen   80;

server_name  mydomain.com;

rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 permanent;



}



server {



listen   80;

server_name www.mydomain.com;



access_log /home/public_html/mydomain.com/log/access.log;

error_log /home/public_html/mydomain.com/log/error.log;



location / {



root   /home/public_html/mydomain.com/public/;

index  index.php index.html;



# Basic version of WordPress parameters, supporting nice permalinks.

# include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.regular;

# Advanced version of WordPress parameters supporting nice permalinks and WP Super Cache plugin

include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.super_cache;

}



# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

#

location ~ .php$ {

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

fastcgi_index index.php;

include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/public_html/mydomain.com/public/$fastcgi_script_name;

}

}

I have added the rewrite rules for bbPress in /usr/local/nginx/conf/bbpress_params.regular

Now where should I add include /usr/local/nginx/conf/bbpress_params.regular; in my vhost file?

Has this been solved? I’ve been trying to figure it out as well. Everything I’ve found is for wordpress-mu and I’m not sure what needs to be changed to use it with regular wordpress.

I found this http://insecure.no/2009/01/wordpress-and-bbpress-nice-url-rewrite-for-nginx/ it sort of works. pretty permalinks work but any attached files such as the css sheet or jquery.js returns a 404 not found error. Any Ideas?

# SEO friendly URLs for bbPress

#

location /forums/ {

root /path/to/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/forums;

index index.php;

if (!-e $request_filename) {

rewrite ^/forums/topic/(.*)$ /forums/topic.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/forum/(.*)$ /forums/forum.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/profile/(.*)$ /forums/profile.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/view/(.*)$ /forums/view.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/tags/(.*)$ /forums/tags.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/rss/(.*)$ /forums/rss.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/bb-admin/ /forums/bb-admin/index.php last;

rewrite ^/forums/ /forums/index.php last;

break;

}

}

Nope. Its a pending issue of mine. May be we can get a response now.

BUMP!

[Jason Giedymin]

These rewrites posted are correct. This is pretty much what we have.

Our environment is very different and we have a few in-house modules to handle ‘missing files’ in place of the ‘!-e’.

As far as the rewrites go they’re good, and obviously you must enable pretty perms for bbpress.

If your having problems ashfame, just cut/past the rewrites outside the file check conditional (if).

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@Jason

The issue is that I don’t know where to add those. Read this post.

As soon as I add the include line like

locations /forums/

{

include ...

}

even my WP stops working.

[scribu]

I have WP running at / and bbPress at /forum/.

This is the configuration I’m using:

http://gist.github.com/770180

Note that there was an error in one of the rules Sam posted:

rewrite ^/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /bbpress/topic.php?id=$1 last;

should have been

rewrite ^/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1 last;

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Thanks Scribu! Handy thing.
