SEO Friendly Urls

[adam estes]

I'm attempting to use Nginx to server a CodeIgniter Script.

Code Igniter uses SEO Friendly scripts (AKA, only uses / instead of ?)

This works fine when I try and use it on Apache. Trying to setup my
own VPS with Code Igniter through NGINX only leans to a pain.

The server is setup with the base folder being a phpbb form, and a
codeigniter script in the folder /fg152/

I'm trying to get the nginx to recognize that index.php/login is
supposed to be a query for code igniter, not a file of its own.

I tried every configuration on this link.

My current Nginx conf looks like this.


                location /fg152/ {
                        root /home/sites/domain/fg152/;
                        index index.php;
                        try_files $uri $uri/ /fg152/index.php;

                }


                location / {
                        root /home/sites/domain/;
                        index index.php index.html index.htm;

                        fastcgi_index index.php;
                        }


Now. This lets the script work. Instead of giving 404 on
/fg152/index.php/login it shows the login page. EXCEPT the images do
not log. Huge problem there.

The images are located at /fg152/application/views/images/

And the login.php that its calling is located at /fg152/application/controllers/

If I remove the location /fg152/ it will show up with the image files
again (But the rest gets a 404 error

I've tried using

location /fg152r/ {

        if (-f $request_filename) {
            expires max;
            break;
        }

        if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^/fg152/(.*)$ /fg152/index.php/$1 last;
        }
    }

Still no luck. What can I do to resolve this issue and get both php
and image files working?
