We recently made a server switch and are hosting the rewrites on the server instead of in an .htaccess file. I was given this htaconf.txt printout of the rewrite rules on the server. I attempted to fix the rewrites twice, but it did not fix the issue. I believe the only two rewrites that are important are the WordPress rewrites on line 4 and the team.php rewrites where I put many pound signs to help it stand out.

The guys at the new hosting also put NGINX on the server - I'm not sure if that would do anything to change the rewrites rules, but I'm not sure what it can be at this point. Any help, hints, or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm sorry that the file is so long, but I'm not sure which parts of the file can be contributing to the error - I assume it's only first half of the code, but I put the other code on there just to make sure I'm not missing anything.

If you're using nginx as your webserver, it doesn't use .htaccess files. .htaccess is (more or less) Apache-specific. From the nginx docs: http://wiki.nginx.org/LikeApache-htaccess

See also: nginx support for .htaccess / rewrite rules? Differences from Apache?
