WordPress 3.0 & nginx - permalink, 404 problem
On your location / block,
add this and remove any non-specific rewrite rules:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
If wordpress is on another directory besides the root, instead of having
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/wordpress/(.+)$ /wordpress/index.php?q=$1 last;}You can have:
location /wordpress { try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress/index.php?$args;}This page has exactly the same concept. I should have read and tried it first: nginx rewrite rule under a subdirectory
After much pain:
# if filename doesn't exist, take the request and pass to wordpress as a paramater if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/wordpress/(.+)$ /wordpress/index.php?q=$1 last; }If the requested file does not exist, pass it to index.php. It's a bit slow and I think I might try and not use a query, but it does work... :)
