if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^ /yourls-loader.php last;
}

It didn’t work for me.

The relevant configuration:

server {
listen 74.207.227.150:80; ## listen for ipv4
listen [2001:470:8:1ae::2]:80; ## listen for ipv6
server_name n4rky.me http://www.n4rky.me;
root /home/www/n4rky.me;
access_log /home/www/n4rky.me/logs/access.log;
location / {
index index.php;
if (!-f $request_filename){
set $rule_0 1$rule_0;
}
if (!-d $request_filename){
set $rule_0 2$rule_0;
}
if ($rule_0 = “21″){
rewrite ^/([0-9a-z]+)/?$ /yourls-go.php?id=$1 last;
}
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $http_host;
fastcgi_ignore_client_abort on;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}

My guess is that it isn’t the rewrite rules you found but the fastcgi implementation. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks for providing the Nginx rewrite. It works!!!
