nginx and Wordpress

[Rashef]

Hi guys,

I'm struggling to understand how to have my Wordpress instances working properly on NGINX with a ISPconfig3 head...

I found many different guides about how to modify NGINX for Wordpress, but I'd like to understand if I can avoid to modify the conf files and use only the ISPconfig3 interface.

This is my current conf in "nginx Directives":

location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
       }

       # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
       rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

       location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
       }
fastcgi_buffers 8 16k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;

But I'm still not able to have Wordpress in a subfolder working with the root URL, anyone succeed on it?

Set up a new vhost and add a root directive that points to the correct folder:

location / {
       root /path/to/your/document/root;
       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

       # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
       rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

       location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
       }
}

Are you saying to paste the above code in "nginx Directives" of the site?

thanks!

Yes, that's right!
