convert htaccess to nginx [closed]

Answer 1

Use this: http://winginx.com/htaccess

Online converter, nice way and time saver ;)

Answer 2

Online tools to translate Apache .htaccess to Nginx rewrite tools include:

• http://winginx.com/htaccess
• http://www.anilcetin.com/convert-apache-htaccess-to-nginx/

Note that these tools will convert to equivalent rewrite expressions using if statements, but they should be converted to try_files. See:

• http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#try_files

Answer 3

Have not tested it yet, but the looks are better than the one Alex mentions.

The description at winginx.com/en/htaccess says:

About the htaccess to nginx converter

The service is to convert an Apache's .htaccess to nginx configuration instructions.

First of all, the service was thought as a mod_rewrite to nginx converter. However, it allows you to convert some other instructions that have reason to be ported from Apache to nginx.

Note server instructions (e.g. php_value, etc.) are ignored.

The converter does not check syntax, including regular expressions and logic errors.

Please, check the result manually before use.

Answer 4

Rewrite rules are pretty much written the same way with nginx: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule#rewrite

Which rules are causing you trouble? I could help you translate those!

Answer 5

You can easily make a Php script to parse your old htaccess, I am using this one for PRestashop rules :

$content = $_POST['content'];

    $lines   = explode(PHP_EOL, $content);
    $results = '';

    foreach($lines as $line)
    {
        $items = explode(' ', $line);

        $q = str_replace("^", "^/", $items[1]);

        if (substr($q, strlen($q) - 1) !== '$') $q .= '$';

        $buffer = 'rewrite "'.$q.'" "'.$items[2].'" last;';

        $results .= $buffer.PHP_EOL;
    }

    die($results);
