Nginx rewrites static files to index.html - nginx

I'm trying to work on a single page app - I need to rewrite all urls to index.html but allow existing static files (.css and .js) to be served as they normally would be in a browser.
This is the code that I'm trying to use to re-write but it serves my static files to the re-write as well
if (!-e $request_filename)
{
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /?/$1 last;
break;
}

you don't actually need a rewrite for that in nginx, just use try_files like so:
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html;
}
what this does is for all url's:
try the exact static filename match, and serve it if present
if 1 didn't serve anything, then server /index.html instead
see http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files

This should work:
server {
listen 1.2.3.4:80;
server_name domain.eu;
root /usr/local/www/domain.eu/public;
try_files $uri #rewrites;
location #rewrites {
rewrite ^/favicon.ico$ /pictures/favicon.ico last;
rewrite ^ /index.html last;
}
}

Rewrite with multiple back reference with .html file to domain name

About:
I'm trying to rewrite my domain using Nginx:
I have a website on which I'm trying to rewrite the URL to www.my.domain.com to make it secure as it's showing the whole directory structure
Right now when I write in the browser
www.my.domain.com
It redirects me to this path below
www.my.domain.com/dreamfactory/dist/index.html#/login
I want to hide the directory structure from URL to keep it safe, on search www.my.domain.com
Results should be:
www.my.domain.com/
Implemented Rewrites:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$is_args$args;
}
location / {
try_files $uri #rewrite;
}
location #rewrite {
rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
rewrite ^(.*)/$ $1.html break;
}
Any Hope 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Nginx - remove trailing slash if it's not a directory

I have no problems with redirect, but when I uncomment 2 lines that do "if folder doesn't exist" check, I get 404 error on any page. And I don't understand why, it's basic functionality.
I need to redirect all requests with trailing slash to urls without it. The only exception is when a folder with that url exists.
location / {
#if (!-d $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
#}
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
}
You should read this caution on the use of if.
You could try an alternative approach and only rewrite after try_files has processed the URIs that it can:
location {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ #rewrite;
}
location #rewrite {
rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
rewrite ^ /index.php?q=$request_uri last;
}

nginx rewrite & parameter full-url and file extensions

I will try to be brief. I have the following nginx rewrite url:
rewrite ^/(.*)?$ /index.php?completeURL=$1 last;
I want a url like:
http://mywebsite.com/http://www.otherwebsite.com/dir1/dirx/article.php&id=2&category=1
request:
http://mywebsite.com/index.php?completeURL=http://www.otherwebsite.com/dir1/dirx/article.php&id=2&category=1
Currently the nginx rule have a problem. Example: If the parameter contains a .php extension he looks for that file on my server.
Example: http://mywebsite.com/dir1/dirx/article.php
How can I solve this problem in your opinion?
UPDATE:
here the nginx configuration (and rewrite) files:
(config) https://gist.github.com/ivanionut/cc53c9de372b932c3937d9394d3b448c
(rewrite) https://gist.github.com/ivanionut/4df3ad9b858a54ae01461ab078adffb6
The simplest solution (assuming that the server does nothing else other than serve index.php) is to remove the usual location ~ \.php$ block and perform a rewrite ... break; in the same block as the fastcgi_pass. There are a number of ways of achieving this, including:
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)?$ /index.php?completeURL=$1 break;
fastcgi_pass ...
...
}
An alternative strategy is to perform the rewrite only if a local file does not already exist, but you need to ensure that .php files are tested too. For example:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ #rewrite;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri #rewrite;
fastcgi_pass ...
...
}
location #rewrite {
rewrite ^/(.*)?$ /index.php?completeURL=$1 last;
}

Nginx Proxy_pass try_files drop to location handler

I'm running into small hick up with try_files in combination with proxy_pass (or alias for that matter).
Current config:
location /staticsrv {
alias /var/www/static/trunk/;
#proxy_pass http://static.localtest.nl/;
}
location ~ ^/staticsrv/images/gallery/(.*)$ {
try_files $uri #img_proxy;
}
location #img_proxy {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php/?c=media&m=index&imag=$uri;
}
However for every file it gets dropped to the rewrite rule as it doesn't exist.
Is there a "trick" (read correct config) to fix my misfortune? Or is it just not possible? Both domains will eventually be on the same server so we can work with alias and proxy_pass.
Thanks in advance
Your location ~ ^/staticsrv/images/gallery/(.*)$ needs a root or an alias to construct a local path for try_files to try. Also, you do not necessarily need a regular expression here:
location /staticsrv/images/gallery/ {
alias /var/www/static/trunk/images/gallery/;
try_files $uri #img_proxy;
}
location #img_proxy {
rewrite ^ /index.php/?c=media&m=index&imag=$uri last;
}
proxy_pass will not work with try_files as one deals with remote content and the other with local content.
I try to avoid using alias and try_files in the same location block because of this open bug.
A possible work around would be to use another intermediate URI that closely matches the document root:
location /staticsrv/images/gallery/ {
rewrite ^/staticsrv(.+)$ /trunk$1 last;
}
location /trunk {
internal;
root /var/www/static;
try_files $uri #img_proxy;
}
location #img_proxy {
rewrite ^ /index.php/?c=media&m=index&imag=$uri last;
}

nginx try_files, pushState, and 404

I'm trying to configure nginx to work with a pushState-enabled app. I've got it mostly working, but what I'm missing is getting a 404 returned on non-existent documents. How can I achieve this? Relevant part of my nginx.conf:
location / {
root /foo;
index index.html;
try_files $uri /index.html;
}
I've tried try_files $uri /index.html =404;, but that didn't work, obviously, because index.html exists.
I've also tried...
if (!-e $request_filename) {
return 404;
}
...in the server and location block. Neither worked.
Try this. If file exists, redirect to index.html. Otherwise return 404.
location = /index.html {}
location / {
if (!-f $request_filename) {
return 404;
}
rewrite ^/(.*) /index.html redirect;
}
