How to "convert" htaccess rules into nginx rule?

Question

I would like to "convert" this rules into an nginx rule. I think the location block is the right place, but my solutions doesn't work.

Options -Indexes RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public%{REQUEST_URI} -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [QSA,END] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index\.php RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?route=$1 [QSA,L] 

I tried this

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

The nginx rewrite directive is applied unconditionally, whereas you have many conditions in your rewrite rules. Use the try_files directive instead:

location = /index.php { # PHP options } location / { try_files /public$uri /public$uri/ /index.php?route=$uri; }
