Setup SEO Full Friendly URLs on nginx

[mlx]

It's actually really really simple.

Considering you have uploaded XenForo into the directory "community", just add this to your nginx config:

        location /community/ {
            index  index.php index.html index.htm;
            try_files   $uri $uri/ /community/index.php?$uri&$args;
        }

While you are at it you might also want to add this to block external access to the folders "internal_data" and "library".

        location ~ ^/community/(internal_data|library)/(.*)$ {
            internal;
        }

Restart nginx and enable Full Friendly URLs.

mlx, maybe from 2011 on we can run xenfans here on nginx - rather than apache2.
Thanks for this resource, I've bookmarked it

I have updated the 1st post. Using try_files is apparently better than using if.
