Rewrite rule in nginx

Question

I'm moving a PHP application from Apache to Nginx, using php-fpm. I'm almost done, except by a rewrite directive that I haven't been able to do in Nginx. The following is the excerpt from the Apache config that I need to port:

# Handle alianza.quehambre.cl RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^alianza\.quehambre\.cl [NC] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(api|get)/(.*) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/get/$1 [L,QSA] 

The full Nginx configuration is in this gist, including my current non-working attempt to write the above rules.

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

server { server_name alianza.quehambre.cl; location / { location ~ ^/(api|get)/(.*) { # Whatever should happen at this point... } try_files $uri /index.php/get/$request_uri =404; } } 

Answer 2

Try this one:

 location ~ (api|get)/(.*) { } location / { if ($http_host ~* "^alianza\.quehambre\.cl"){ rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php/get/$1 break; } }
