Nginx location rule for Wordpress Multisite in subdirectories

[Ian M. Evans]

Hi everyone!

I currently have a wordpress blog located at blogname and, as per threads
here, I had the following on my nginx.conf:

location ^~ /blogname {
  try_files $uri /blogname/index.php?q=$uri;
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:10004;

  }
}

I'm actually adding a few more blogs and will be moving to the multisite
options in wordpress and running the various blogs in subdirectories under
/blogs, e.g.:

/blogs/blog1
/blogs/blog2
etc.

I need to be able to catch the above in either /blog or its suddirs, since
WP installs a main blog in the /blogs dir i.e.:

location ^~ /blogs {
  try_files $uri /blogs/index.php?q=$uri;

and

location ^~ /blogs/blog1 {
  try_files $uri /blogs/blog1/index.php?q=$uri;


I realize I could create locations specific to each dir, but is there a
wildcard way to do this?

Thanks.

p.s. as I've said before, my nickname should be "Sucks at regex"
