How can I get around using alias in nginx?
Solution 1:
Rewrite the URI :
location /blog {
root /var/www/mysite/wordpress;
rewrite ^/blog/([^.]+\.[^.]+)$ /$1 break;
try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php$is_args$args;
location ~ \.php {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(?:\/blog\/)(.+\.php)(.*);
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
This will remove the /blog part of the URI for URIs containing a potential file suffix in it (something.something).
