Enabling Nginx mod_rewrite

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/enabling-nginx-mod_rewrite

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/recipes/wordpress/

open the file below replacing ‘default' if necessary with the sites server block:

$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Replace:

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

with:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

If using a subfolder (say /wordpress), you’ll have to add an extra location /wordpress/ block to your configuration file :

location /wordpress/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress/index.php?$args; }

Restart nginx:

$ sudo service nginx restart

ERRORS

Above is not working for local development. Also tried adding below code (underneath the ‘try_files…' code and within the server block):

if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
 }

Hosting

Develop and scale your apps globally with DigitalOcean and/or Vultr – or use shared hosting with no server maintenance required at iMarketHost.com.

    1. Did you install to a subfolder? If you did, then the code block would be something like:

      try_files $uri $uri/ /installsubfolder/index.php?$args;

      Other than that, you would need to check the documentation of the particular app that you installed…

    1. You would need to check the documentation for the app that you installed. Other than that, if you installed the app into a subfolder you would add that to the code:

      try_files $uri $uri/ /subfolder/index.php?$args;
