Nginx as Apache proxy for static content

[Genko Penev]

Hello,

I installed Nginx. Set up as a server for static content and a dynamic  
content to be redirected to a Apache server behind. Everything works fine,  
server load decreased. I began to serving three times more requests. Glad  
that everything worked, but the beam. Rewrite rules don't work.
Here is my configuration of Nginx in /etc/nginx/conf.d/virtual.conf:


#virtual hosts start
#start - _default_
server
{
   listen 80;
   server_name _default_ alias._default_;

   location ~* (/|.php|.phtm|.phtml)$
   {
     proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
     proxy_redirect off;

     proxy_set_header Host            $host;
     proxy_set_header X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

     client_max_body_size    128m;

     proxy_connect_timeout 60;
     proxy_send_timeout    60;
     proxy_read_timeout    60;
   }
   location /
   {
     root /var/www;
   }
}
#end - _default_

#start - secretsexpartner.com
server
{
   listen 80;
   server_name secretsexpartner.com www.secretsexpartner.com  
alias.secretsexpartner.com;

   location ~* (/|.php|.phtm|.phtml)$
   {
     proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
     proxy_redirect off;

     proxy_set_header Host            $host;
     proxy_set_header X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;


     client_max_body_size    128m;

     proxy_connect_timeout 60;
     proxy_send_timeout    60;
     proxy_read_timeout    60;
   }

   location /
   {
     root /var//www;
   }
}
#end - secretsexpartner.com
#virtual hosts end

I use following .htaccess file on apache root directory:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ navigation.php

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH:%{HTTP:X-Requested-With}]


And when try to access web pages that use this rules, nginx tell me Page  
not found 404. How to implement this .htaccess to work and with Nginx  
frontend.

Thanks in advance!
