Hi All
I am hoping someone will be able to help. I am fairly new to Nginx webserver and am having problems setting up an Elgg site on Nginx.
I successfully run through the installation of Elgg to the point where I have to enter Site Details such as
What email address I want emails sent from?
The website url
The data path
Whether to use SSL?
Whether I want to use RESTful API.
I keep getting a 404 error. It is driving me nuts. I looked up a config file on the Nginx website http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxElgg , however I cannot seem to get past this stage. Googling around has come up with details of others who use Nginx but no config steps. Your help is appreciated.

Security issues should be reported to security@elgg.org!

You must log in to post replies.Look around for advice on converting apache rewrite rules to nginx. Without the correct rewrite rules, you will get a 404 error.
Thanks. That makes alot of sense. The reason I chose Nginx is because of its low foot print and the fact that its really fast.
As I am a newbie, what are the rewrite rules elgg needs for apache? and where do I find them?
The rewrite rules are at the bottom of the .htaccess file (or htaccess_dist if you haven't installed yet). The key one for installing Elgg is the action one.
