WHMCS NGINX web server rewrite rules

[Bubka3]

Here's the Apache Rewrite rules converted to nginx for WHMCS:

 

# Announcements

rewrite ^/announcements/([0-9]+)/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.html$ /./announcements.php?id=$1 last;

rewrite ^/announcements$ /./announcements.php last;

 

# Downloads

rewrite ^/downloads/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)$ /./downloads.php?action=displaycat&catid=$1 last;

rewrite ^/downloads$ /./downloads.php last;

 

# Knowledgebase

rewrite ^/knowledgebase/([0-9]+)/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.html$ /./knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=$1 last;

rewrite ^/knowledgebase/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)$ /./knowledgebase.php?action=displaycat&catid=$1 last;

rewrite ^/knowledgebase$ /./knowledgebase.php last;

 

Last Updated for version: 5.2.7

 

Notice: You'll want to place these directly in the server { } block for your WHMCS domain. Putting them under a location { } will break the rules!

Awesome. Thanks. I was planning to switch over to Nginx soon. Was it pretty simple? Any other issues with whmcs? Did you notice any performance gains?

PHP is still limiting the performance, but overall it is still a snappier experience to run whmcs under nginx. Static resources are loading crazy fast.

 

It's not super hard, but it all depends on what you think is hard.

 

I will never go back to apache with whmcs.

I'm running php-fpm with pagespeed and APC on the backend. The server is snappy and responsive now. I also ran all the images through http://smush.it which helped remove a lot of waste from all my images (WHMCS files included).

Hi

 

I have been running NGINX for months.

 

I did not know anything needed to be changed on the server and all seems to be running OK.

 

What is the edit supposed to fix?

 

Thanks

This allows you to enable SEO friendly URLs for Knowledge, Announcements, and Downloads.

That's great thanks.

Thank you come in handy.

I'm a little late to the party but is there anyway to have it show the category name of the KB article instead of (what appears to be) the actual "number" of the article?

 

Basically it's currently:

 

/knowledgebase/1/TESTKB

 

but you'd think it SHOULD be:

 

/knowledgebase/CATNAME/TESTKB

Same with announcements, looks like it's using the same "number" system instead of simply announcements/3/TESTANNOUNCE.html it should be announcements/TESTANNOUNCE.html, no?
