GitHub configuration files

[Michael Shadle]

I had thought of posting some recipes up at one point as well.

# all other requests go to Wordpress
				if (!-e $request_filename) {
					rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
					rewrite /(.*)/$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
					break;
				}

I don't think you need that; probably simpler to do try_files there.

I haven't used wp supercache; I would make two configs, one for
wordpress and one for wordpress with wp supercache. Because my default
wordpress and drupal configs are basically just try_files lines.

Drupal 6 doesn't support try_files, still needs the if (-e) check.
Drupal 7 works.
Drupal also has a lot of stuff in the document root to set to
"internal" sadly. So I have a location block to handle that.

At the moment, this is my working Drupal 6 config:

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

location ~* \.(engine|inc|info|install|module|profile|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)$|^(code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template)$
{
        internal;
}
location ~ /sites/all/scripts/.* { internal; }
location ~ /sites/all/modules/apachesolr/solrbase/.* { internal; }


for wordpress:

all you need is:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?page=$request_uri;

always start out simple, and build from there. :)
