How should I rewrite this htaccess rules to nginx kind of rules:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?puppy/index.php$
RewriteRule . /puppy/index.php
In nginx, you won't use a rewrite for this at all. You would use try_files
instead. For example:
try_files $uri $uri/ /puppy/index.php;
Or, more likely, try_files
along with a named location
to handle PHP scripts.
This isn't something that should be done in isolation; it is an integral part of the entire server
block and you should not consider it separately.
