Is Nginx supported ?

[Lars Juul]

Hello,

Is Apache required, or can EASY!Appointments also run on Nginx ?

Regards,

Lars

Hi there, 

I haven't tried that to be honest but I think that if you setup PHP you shouldn't have a problem. 

You just have to figure out how to handle the URL redirections the same way Apache does because the app is based on that.

Hello,

Then my rewrite rules may be off, I have changed them a few times until it called the right file, but Nginx seem to dislike the part after the file name.

I have EAsy Appointment in a subfolder called massage, so my rewrite rule are in Nginx:

        location /massage {

                if (!-e $request_filename) {

                        rewrite ^/massage/(.*)$ /massage/$1 break;

                }

        }

That calls the right file (I think), but the server chokes on the last part:

 request: "POST /massage/index.php/appointments/ajax_install HTTP/1.1"

The server fails trying opening:

/..path../public_html/massage/index.php/appointments/ajax_install

I'm sorry, I have no experience with Nginx servers. I hope someone else from this community can help you with rewriting rules.

I got it to work, if the folder is named "massage" then NGINX rewrite rules works written like this:

        location /massage {

                if (!-e $request_filename) {

                        rewrite ^/massage/(.*)$ /massage/index.php?$1 last;

                }

        }

I managed to get it working without rewrite (which for some reason forced a rewrite of everything, including assets).

 

# Test thecalendar rewrite

        location /thecalendar {

             root /mnt/www;

             try_files $uri /thecalendar/index.php;

        }

I disabled directory lookups, not supposed to be doing that anyways, ;)
