XF 1.2 nginx friendly url rewrite

[optrex]

I'm new to nginx and I'm struggling with the friendly url rewrite.
I've added the relevant xenforo rewrite riles in between the ####### markers, but I still get a 404

Can anyone help please?

 root  /var/www/forum/htdocs;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

    error_page  404              /404.html;
    location = /404.html {
        root  /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

You need to rename /xf to whatever path your forum is located.

I thought I had in the example given. Have I missed something?

You missed a spot that I've highlighted in red above.

Thank you both. I've made the change to the /xf/ that I missed, but I am still getting 404 errors event after reloading the service.

ah, I've commented out one of the locations and that has enabled it to work, thanks for the assistance.
