Apache to Nginx

[The Little Guy]

I think I want to convert my server from Apache to Nginx, but one problem I think I may face is mod rewrite rules.

 

my current .htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^snip/([0-9]+)$ snippet.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^snip-([0-9]+)$ snippet.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^snip/images$ /images

 

Is there anything I need to do when converting? do similar rewrite rules work with Nginx?

 

Any other thoughts on converting or on Nginx?

so, it looks like all I had to do on my server was create an nginx dir in my root and add the domain dir. I then just create files in it and I was able to do this for the rewrites:

 

rewrite ^/snip/([0-9]+)$ /snippet.php?id=$1;
rewrite ^/snip-([0-9]+)$ /snippet.php?id=$1;
rewrite ^/snip/images$ /images;
