Nginx fiasco

[aditya a.]

Hey guys,

I am giving out the apache rewrite config and the config i wrote for
nginx. I am not able to get the rewrite rules to work. Please help me
get rid of the problem.

Some other useful details :

1. the apache rewrite rules are of .htacces file present under a
directory admin under www. i.e the path is /var/www/admin for the
.htaccess file.
2. I placed the nginx conf rules straight under nginx.conf present
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
3. When i installed nginx , i used the command " apt-get install nginx "
on ubuntu, so i did not activate or disable any module installation.
4. I have also installed the Perl Regular Expression Library explicitly,
so i dont think that should be an issue.


5. Another point, dont know how much useful. I am tryin to install a
classifieds module i bought named 'ikiclassifieds' . Now its
installation occurs through its own php file (install2.php) inside the
admin folder. I got to run it and it checks some settings, and if fine,
installs.
So, one of its setting's telling me that my rewrite mode is off, and i
cant understand why. The readme told me to type
http://yourdomain.com/admin/install in my browser to start installation,
so i wrote http://localhost/admin/install . Now, it doesnt show up
anything clearly proving the rewrites arent working.
Another thing that i noticed was. in the php code for installation, it
was checking if a variable 'page' in the GET part of url had value
'install' and this comes through the rewrites (refer code below). When i
tried tweaking it by passing the variable in GET myself a[/b]nd start
installation, the url changed to install.htm and it showed 404 error, so
it was to rewrite from htm to php which it didnt........................
phew..this point was a long one Tongue
