Convert Apache rewrite to Nginx

I have this htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
​
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
​
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

i wanna convert to nginx rewrite rules, i tried with

if (!-e $request_filename){
     rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 break;
}

But it doesn't work, any idea ?

Convert your .htaccess for nginx. I just switched from Apache 2.4 to Nginx 1.18.0 and it works, but all rewrite lines should be inside your server block in nginx conf, otherwise it converts it all.

The equivalent rewrite would be:

if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite ^/?(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
}

As nginx URIs include the leading / which your script probably does not want. Also, the .php file is likely processed in a different location block, so you need to use last.

Alternative ways of writing this without the use of an if block:

First, with the leading /:

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

Second, without the leading /:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
}
location @rewrite {
    rewrite ^/?(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
}

All nginx directives are documented here.
