nginx rewrite all to index.php except whitelist

regex .htaccess codeigniter nginx rewrite

I would use the $uri variable and if in a location block to achieve this.

location / {    if ( $uri !~ ^/(index\.php|css|images|core|uploads|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico) ) {        rewrite ^ /server/index.php last;    }}

Also, as for the pathinfo security problems, (discussion) it's a good practice to add

try_files $uri =403;fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(.*)$;

to the location ~ \.php$ block.
