I have a working config, but for 1.9, so you'd need to add few missing rules. Have a look here: https://gist.github.com/Srokap/7dbfc423812f09a5ee43 and for thread with few other versions: https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/issues/5929
Thanks @RvR & @Pawel Sroka, I´ve done a small progress, the rewriting seems to be working with this rule:
rewrite ^/action/([\/A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ /engine/handlers/action_handler.php?action=$1 last;
This is the log:
2014/04/05 05:42:45 [notice] 27116#0: *27 rewritten data: "/engine/handlers/action_handler.php", args: "action=login", client: 212.170.174.236, server: ec2-54-72-103-90.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com, request: "POST /action/login HTTP/1.1", host: "ec2-54-72-103-90.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com", referrer: "http://ec2-54-72-103-90.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/login"
BUT
When I try to login, it dont works, the button Log in does nothing.
If anyone would test it, this is the url http://ec2-54-72-103-90.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/login
Any suggestion??, I´m obsessed with this!!!
I reply myself, there was an issue with igbynary PHP module, is not working with Elgg:
[06-Apr-2014 17:50:26 Australia/Brisbane] PHP WARNING: 2014-04-06 17:50:26 (EST): "igbinary_unserialize_header: unsupported version: 34865425, should be 1 or 2" in file /home/nginx/domains/ec2-54-72-103-90.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/public/engine/lib/sessions.php (line 425)[06-Apr-2014 17:50:26 Australia/Brisbane] PHP WARNING: 2014-04-06 17:50:26 (EST): "session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Trying to destroy uninitialized session" in file /home/nginx/domains/ec2-54-72-103-90.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/public/engine/lib/sessions.php (line 425)So I removed this module and use the standard PHP serializer. Thanks to @dramirez for his valuable help!!!This is my actual vhost configuration:#
