I am trying to change those Apache rewrite rules to Nginx, but auto converter fails. And I am not very good at them. Can anyone help please?

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase / 
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-HTTPS} !1 
RewriteCond %{REQUESTURI} !^/exchange1СOpencart.php$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUESTURI} !^/TEMP$ 
RewriteRule ^(.)$ https://%{HTTPHOST}/$1 [R=301,L] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-HTTPS} 1 [NC] 
RewriteCond %{REQUESTURI} ^/exchange1СOpencart.php$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/TEMP$ 
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] 
 
2 variant

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SERVERPORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUESTURI} !^/exchange1СOpencart.php$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUESTURI} !^/TEMP$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTPHOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{SERVERPORT} 443
RewriteRule ^(/exchange1СOpencart.php)$ http://%{HTTPHOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(/TEMP)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]

Wow, that’s a difficult config to read - specially if you’re new to Nginx, so I understand why you can’t figure it out.

Instead of trying to hack around with http vs https, maybe we should simply look at exchange_1С_Opencart.php file and see why it doesn’t work with https (because it should work without any problems, since you’re already redirecting http to https).
Can you contact the developer to get it fixed?

Otherwise, you need to not use the CentMinMod wizard anymore, since it might overwrite some of the changes you’re going to make.
It’s a little difficult to figure out the configuration, since there’s so many includes.
This might work - but it might “explode”, so make a copy of domain.com.ssl.conf before replacing with this.
Remember to replace all the domain.com with the correct domain.

server {
  server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
  root /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public;

  access_log /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=60m;
  error_log /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/log/error.log;

  location = /exchange_1С_Opencart.php {
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
    break;
  }
  location = /TEMP {
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
    break;
  }

  location / {
    return 302 https://$server_name/$request_uri;
  }
}

}

Are you’ve change the configuration, then you need to test the config and restart Nginx:

sudo nginx -s configtest
sudo nginx -s restart

    Thanks I am also trying to contact developer. When testing NGINX it gives me error: 

    nginx: [emerg] location "[^/]\.php(/|$)" cannot be inside the exact location "/exchange_1?_Opencart.php" in /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf:1

          Okay, try replacing the HTTP server location block with this:

            location = /exchange_1С_Opencart.php {
    try_files $uri =404;
  }
  location = /TEMP {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;

          Again, it’s a mess. If it doesn’t work, then contact the developer to fix the PHP file.
          Otherwise you need to redo the entire Nginx configuration from beginning without a wizard.

    By the way, made a little error in the config.
    This $server_name/$request_uri should be $server_name$request_uri

Hi @mianofv

.htaccess does not exists in Nginx. That’s one of the reasons why Nginx is so fast, since nothing is loaded dynamically as Apache.

Can you use the code-button in this editor, because currently it removes underscores and other characters.
Is the idea to load some elements over HTTP and not HTTPS? Why?

@mianofv

Since basic formatting tends to distort code, would you mind reposting those in a code block? You can do this by using the </> icon in the editor. Using a code block ensures proper formatting remains and we can then take a look at the rules.

Thank you for your answers. I have a program installed on my computer in my shop which synchronizes products to my OpenCart . My OpenCart is with HTTPS, but that OpenCart module works only with HTTP. So I need to force those files to redirect to HTTP only. The developer only gave Apache rules.

    You need to copy your original code and place it within the code-tags - not the one from the first post, since it’s already distorted.

        Can you also post your entire server block? It would be easier for us to make a complete server block example then. You can replace your domain with domain.com if you want to keep it private.

Thanks! Module is connecting. But not uploading the files… I guess only a developer of that module can fix that.
