Stacey Config for Nginx

[domenicomazza]

Has anyone installed a Stacey site on an Nginx server? If you have a working config file it would certainly be worth contributing. .htaccess to Nginx config converters aren't great nor are my regex/mod-rewrite/Nginx skills, otherwise I'd contribute.

I think this is all you need:

 location / {
  # Stacey Rules
  error_page 404 /404.html;

  # Rewrite any calls to /render to the image parser
  rewrite ^/render/. /app/parsers/slir/ break;

  # Rewrite any file calls to the public directory
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri /public$uri;
 }

Inside a server{} block. I took it from here:

Cheers @afonsoduarte I looked high and low for working examples, and there it was! It's working for the root directory and loading images, but clicking on any page links produces a 500 error. The Nginx error log states rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/public/public/public/public/public/public/pu$ I'm suspicious of try_files. I'll play around with it. If I come up with a solution, I'll post it here.

Ok. I got the configuration working by removing /public$uri which was causing the loops. Anywhere where I've used the shorthand {{ page.root_path }}/docs in Stacey has been changed to explicitly go to /public, thus {{ page.root_path }}/public/docs.

server {

        root SERVER FILE LOCATION;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        # Make site accessible from
        server_name YOUR IP OR DOMAIN NAME;

        location / {
        # Stacey Rules
        error_page 404 /404.html;

        # Rewrite any calls to /render to the image parser
        rewrite ^/render/. /app/parsers/slir/ break;

        # Rewrite any file calls to the public directory
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri;
        }

        # Block access to .htaccess files
        location ~ /\.ht {
        deny  all;
        }

        include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
        include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
}

Note: the include files are just standard error page links and PHP (Fast-cgi php-fpm) config I've put together to save repeating the same thing across multiple site setups.
