Use something like<br>
<br>
if ($arg_title != "") {<br>
return 302 <a href="http://mysite.com/$arg_title" target="_blank">http://mysite.com/$arg_title</a>;<br>
}<br>
<br>
inside the "location = /index.php" block, and then continue with whatever<br>
should happen if $arg_title is empty.<br>

</div>I suspect that "try_files $uri /$uri /index.php;" might be enough for<br>
what you ask for here; if it isn't, then a description of what you do,<br>
what you see, and what you expect to see, will probably make it easier<br>
to understand where the problem is. (Your fastcgi-related configuration,<br>
and the php code itself, will determine whether it is enough.)<br>
<br>
If you search for nginx + your-php-application, do you see any<br>
documentation on how to create SEF URLs? It may be easier than me<br>
guessing here.<br>
