Setup SEO Full Friendly URLs on nginx

[Laric]

Well couldn't get it to work. So I went back to apache2.
It might be slow but it is a heck of a lot easier to get to do something for you

FYI, somebody in this thread or another thread recommended using the "internal" directive to protect the /xf/data directory.

You don't want to do that if you have Jaxel's [8wayRun.com] XenUtiles installed, as it saves the sitemaps it generates in that directory, and nobody (including google/bing) would be able to find them.

The "data" directory is directly referenced in image tags for avatars and attachment thumbnails. The internal_data directory, on the other hand, is only accessed by PHP.

Thanks for that info. I think I've got it figured out now.

This is the post where I got the information about the /xf/data

sorry but which config file have I to edit exactly?

your domain config file ... it's under your /sites-available/ directory

It depends which distro you are using and if you compiled or yum/apt your nginx ... if you give me your distro , and how you installed nginx I can point you to the file directly

 

[giorgino]

Thank you Blandt, I've found conf file.

How should the code look when using a subdomain like this: http://forum.mydomain.nl/ ?

BTW this should be added to the official FAQ page.
