Nginx Rewrite Rules

Typical Rewrite Rules

Here is an example of how to rewrite www and ssl i n one server block

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name www.example.com example.com;
        return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
        }

This example is for a wordpress sitemap when using Yoast Seo.

rewrite '^/site-map' '/sitemap.xml' permanent;

Pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening @ Unix socket. **Note could also be : location ~ .php$

   location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
                }
