XF 1.4 Moving Xenforo from Apache to Nginx Causing some odd errors.

[Kane Hart]

So I'm no expert with rewrite rules but I assume since I'm using only one site I changed my /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file.

Anyways when I go to the page with the rewrite rules from the xenforo page I get this odd error An error occurred.

Now if I remove all the location or left the default location information the forums work just fine well besides anything but the index works since I had enabled the rewrites via the admin panel before I switched over. But I want to keep friendly URL's etc.

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
  root /home/special/public_html;
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
  server_name special.net;
location /home/special/public_html/ {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /home/special/public_html/index.php?$uri&$args;
  index index.php index.html;
}
location /home/special/public_html/internal_data/ {
  internal;
}
location /home/special/public_html/library/ {
  internal;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
  try_files $uri =404;
  fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
  fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  include  fastcgi_params;
}

try_files $uri $uri/ /home/special/public_html/index.php?$uri&$args;

I don't remember xf need to have this kind of configuration

Double Post ohh I'm bad. Solved it with this little bit. I guess doing full path and such was a bad idea.

  location / {
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;

  }

  location /internal_data/ {
  internal;
  allow 127.0.0.1;
  deny all;
  }

  location /library/ {
  internal;
  allow 127.0.0.1;
  deny all;
  }
