Rewrite URL to only show value of $_GET argument

[Andrew Martin]

Thanks for the suggestions. I was not able to get $arg_title to work. Here
is the relevant section of my nginx config:
        server_name mysite.com;

        try_files $uri $uri/ index.php;

        location / {
                 rewrite ^/index\.php?title=(.*)$
http://mysite.com/$arg_title redirect;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }

I also tried the rewrite rule inside of the "location ~ \.php$" block, but
it didn't work there either. Visiting
mysite.com/index.php?title=my_test_page just loads that URL, it does not
redirect to mysite.com/my_test_page. Moreover, visiting
mysite.com/my_test_page results in a 404. What else should I try to make
this rewrite rule work?

Thanks,

Andrew
