Nginx Httprewrite

[cloudrck]

Nginx has a system similar to Apaches mod_rewrite, while at the same time being completely different. It's also very robust, with the ability to use Perl or any other scripting language.

 

 

This would go in the server{} area for your particular domain. Of course, there are more than one way to achieve rewriting for Blesta with Nginx, but I think this is the most efficient, and avoids the evil IF-IS many people use with Nginx configurations.

 

If anybody is interested, there are loads of other settings that I use to speed Blesta up, which I'm still working on at the moment.

 

To make it easier to update https://github.com/cloudrck/blesta-nginx

 

location ~ (\.pdt) { 
return 403; 
}
location / {
  error_page     404 = @blesta;
  log_not_found  off;
if ($request_uri ~ "^(.*)/install.php$"){
    rewrite install.php /%1/install/ redirect;
  }
}
 
location @blesta {
  rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last; 
}

This is great, actually we should put it in the documentation.

 

Would love to see the settings you use to speed up Blesta too.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Nginx has a learning curve when coming from Apache. A handful of the default configurations of PHP/FCGI from vendors don't go so well with Nginx. As with SSL, I found Nginx will want to start the handshake from scratch each page load. And the stock FPM Process Management settings are set very low.

 

I'll post a lot more soon.

 

I only use PHP-FPM at the moment, rather than plain CGI. As I think it's a much better process manager

Been sorting out a few Nginx Issues as well - especially around forcing everything to use https If you need a hand generating your CSR and a self-signed cert for testing I think I have a guide somewhere as well.

 

My stack where blesta is installed is a centminmod install, and then I just added a vhost where I installed Blesta in the root.

 

My complete sanitized vhost config file is included for reference.

 

server {
  server_name namegoeshere.com;
  access_log /path/to/access.log combined buffer=32k;
  error_log /path/to/error.log;
  root /path/to/docroot;
listen  80;
listen 443 default ssl;
ssl     on;
ssl_certificate         /path to/certificate.crt;
ssl_certificate_key     /path/to/ssl.key;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout  10m;
ssl_protocols  TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:AES256-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL:!DH:!EDH:!AESGCM;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
 
# Force All pages to use SSL  
  if ($ssl_protocol = "") {
       rewrite ^   https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
    }
 
location ~ (\.pdt) {
return 403;
}
location / {
  error_page     404 = @blesta;
  log_not_found  off;
if ($request_uri ~ "^(.*)/install.php$"){
    rewrite install.php /%1/install/ redirect;
  }
}
location @blesta {
   rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last;
}
  include /path/to/php.conf;
}

 

Specific Issue that I had using the centminmod stack was I had to remove the included config file for staticfiles - it sets cache headers for several static files and was causing issues with the navigation in the admin panel (css).  For fine-tuning, I will probably make a copy of this file and remove just the css stuff to keep it all as fast as possible.
