@Todd doing test . I notified him.
He surely made a copy of the production database, then doing local test.

@brujah, sorry!!! I was testing and edited a random name.

I found that the nginx config setup for MyBB worked with Vanilla out of the box, no modifications required. nginx 1.0.4 on Ubuntu 11.

It's not true. Doesn't work at all.

Here's the way I was able to tackle nginx w/ Vanilla:location /forum {try_files $uri $uri/ @forum;}
location @forum {rewrite ^/forum(.+)$ /forum/index.php?p=$1 last;}

It's better not to use if statements ( http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil ), and the @ syntax provides for named locations, which is useful for having systems not in the root path, etc. Short and sweet.

Links Logout, SignIn, all social connects are broken with 403 Forbidden.

Please give somebody really working NGINX rewrites for lasted version of Vanilla!!!

@neolo: Did you do that ?:

As this very forum (vf.org) is ran off nginx, it does work for sure

Tim

server {

   server_name "myforum.whatever.com";
   listen 80 default;

   root /var/www/myforum;
   index index.html index.htm index.php;

   ## PHP handler
   location ~* \.php$ {
      # turn off caching for php
      expires -1;

      # send to fastcgi
      include fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_pass    backend;
   }

   ## Default location
   location / {
      try_files $uri @site;
   }

   location @site {
      rewrite ^ /index.php?p=$uri&$args last;
   }

   ## Disable viewing .htaccess & .htpassword & config
   location ~ "^/\.htaccess$" { deny all; }
   location ~* "/conf/.*$" { deny all; return 403; }
}

upstream backend {
   server 127.0.0.1:9000;
}

Thanks but this piece of config is not working for me:

location @site {
rewrite ^ /index.php?p=$uri&$args last;
}

I'm using embedded vanilla on lasted nginx+php-fpm. And seems to be I forced it to work fine with:

location /discuss {
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ @forum;
}
location @forum {
rewrite ^/discuss(.+)$ /discuss/index.php?p=$1 last;
}

Just last time I tried to use this code, I forgot to define an index page.

Thank you.

@Tim rewrite ^ /index.php?p=$uri&$args last; Works.
