I’ve got one more issue, can you please guide me through this

So I tried htaccess to nginx conf converter.

This is htaccess code

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-\_]+)$ index.php?profile=$1 [NC]


# Return 404 if original request is .php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^[^ ]* .*?\.php[? ].*$"
RewriteRule .* - [L,R=404]

ErrorDocument 404 http://localhost/folder/404

Nginx conf code

# nginx configuration

error_page 404 http://localhost/folder/404;

location / {
  if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite ^(.*)$ /$1.php;
  }
  rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9\-\_]+)$ /index.php?profile=$1;
}

Everything seems to work fine but this line doesn’t works

rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9\-\_]+)$ /index.php?profile=$1;

It is for clean url, but it always shows 404 for that.Please help me out with this

Hi @Cybil

The rewrite rule looks correct, what is the CMS that you are using? Maybe you need to add some extra rules.

Hey @bobbyiliev
Im using NO CMS, its a php site, so do you have any idea what rules should I apply?

Hi @Cybil

This would really depend on your PHP code then. For example, I thin that waht the current rewrite rule that you have does is it forwards any request that comes in, to index.php?profile=.

For example if you visit yourdomain.com/contact, this would be forwarded to yourdomain.com/index.php?profile=contact.

I would recommend also to take a look at this tool here that would help you generate the correct Nginx config for your exact needs:
