Codeigniter set up on the nginx http server

Setting up nginx http server was not so bad I thought. Setting up Codeigniter on my server was easy (Just follow the instruction in their documentation).

However, codeigniter redirect was not working except the one that is set up in $route['default_controller'] = “blahblah”;…

If you encounter the same problem as I struggled from, find the config.php from /application/config/ directory and search for “$config['uri_protocol'] = “blahblah”;

When you look at its documentation carefully, it says :

If your links do not seem to work, try one of the other delicious flavors:

So I changed it to “REQUEST_URI” and my Codeigniter’s rewrite rule started working!

If you wonder what my conf file looks like, here it is:

server {
    listen   80;
    server_name  domain.com;
    location ~ /\. {
        deny all;
    }
    rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 permanent;
}
server {
    listen   80;
    server_name  www.domain.com;
    access_log /path/to/your/app/log/access.log;
    error_log /path/to/your/app/log/error.log;
 
    location ~ /\. {
        deny all;
    }
 
    location / {
        index index.php;
        root /path/to/your/app/public;
        if (!-e $request_filename) { 
             rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last;
        }
    }
 
    location ~ /index.php/ {
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        include         /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME     /path/to/your/app/public/$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}
