I have an URL like ^/d/something/(.*)$, what I want to do is rewrite it internally, with no permanent or temporary HTTP redirect, so that $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will have just $1 and not the whole ^/d/something/(.*)$. Using nginx.

Here is what I tried:

location /d/something/ { rewrite "^/d/something/(.*)$" /$1 last; } location / { include php-fcgi.conf; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$args; }

in the php-fcgi.conf there is fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri; and $request_uri remains the same, so when I hit /d/something/something2 symfony reouter, which relies on $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] shows /d/something/something2 while I expect it to be just /something2. I assume that's because $request_uri is not changed.

If I replace it with fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $uri; then $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] becomes / , no matter what I send in something2 part, it's always just /. Why is that happening and how can I internally rewrite it to /$1?

Thanks!

UPDATE: here are the contents of php-fcgi.conf:

location ~ \.php { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_read_timeout 60s; }

I would expect $uri to have the value /index.php by the time the request is passed to the PHP script, so I don't understand why you are seeing /. However...

The simplest solution would be to execute the PHP script from within the location where the URI is rewritten. This is achieved using a rewrite...break and overwriting the REQUEST_URI and SCRIPT_FILENAME parameters.

For example:

location /d/something/ { rewrite "^/d/something/(.*)$" /$1 break; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $uri; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_read_timeout 60s; }

Place the fastcgi_param statements after the include statement.

Alternatively, use a regular expression location block. Note that the order of regular expression location blocks is significant. See this document for details.

For example:

location ~ ^/d/something(/.*)$ { try_files /index.php =404; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $1; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_read_timeout 60s; }

  • Thanks Richard! I just tested the first approach and it worked. I think the main problem with my attempts were that I modified REQUEST_URI, I should have replaced SCRIPT_FILENAME and use break , but then pointing it to php-fcgi as it will never reach the second pass.
