I need specific examples of old and new URLs. If those rules were working before then something probably changed with your nginx configuration and you need to check that.

The nginx rules appear to be working. It's the PHP redirect scripts that are failing. This probably means you need to edit the 301config.php file and confirm the name of the import_log table. If this is pointing to an empty table (or one which doesn't contain the mappings for your import) then it will redirect to the index.

edit - the import_log table is usually named one of these:

archived_import_log
xf_import_log

Hello @Jake Bunce!

I need to figure out how to rewrite these. We were running vbseo, and the thread ID's are the same.

vBulletin Link: /general-discussion/38094-fred-meyer-department.html
XenForo Link: /threads/fred-meyer-department.38094/

Each of the vB links pointed to the subforum, and then to the thread. The XF links point to the /threads/ sub-directory.

I'd really appreciate your help :)

Add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in your web root:

Code: 
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^\./]+\.html$ /threads/$1/ [R=301,L]

Hmm, doesn't seem to be working. Here's my conf.

Code: 
location /xenforo/ {
     index index.php index.html index.htm;
     try_files $uri $uri/ /xenforo/index.php?$uri&$args;
}

location ~* ^/[^/]+/[0-9]+-[^\./]+\.html$ {
     rewrite /([0-9]+)-[^\./]+\.html
     /xenforo/threads/$1/ last;
}

It should work. Maybe there is another matching rule higher up. Also make sure the rule is in the right server block.

@Jake Bunce can you help me with this?

I have this in vbulletin:

threads links:
forum-name/threadid-thread-title.html
nodes links:
/forumid-forum-name

can I have some help to make them work on nginx? :oops:
Click to expand...

Code: 
        location ~* ^/[^/]+/[0-9]+-[^\./]+\.html$ {
                rewrite /([0-9]+)-[^\./]+\.html
/threads/$1/ last;
        }

That will take care of threads. This assumes vB was in the root and XF is in the root.

in case they was not in the root?

Code: 
        location ~* ^vbdir/[^/]+/[0-9]+-[^\./]+\.html$ {
                rewrite /([0-9]+)-[^\./]+\.html
xfdir/threads/$1/ last;
        }

is this correct?

for forum nodes instead:
Code: 
        location ~* ^vbdir/[0-9]+-[^\./]+\.html$ {
                rewrite /([0-9]+)-[^\./]+\.html
xfdir/forums/$1/ last;
        }

is this correct?

        location ~* ^/vbdir/[0-9]+-[^/]+/?$ {
                rewrite /([0-9]+)-[^/]+/?$
/xfdir/forums/$1/ last;
