Asked by mianofv

I am trying to change those Apache rewrite rules to Nginx, but auto converter fails. And I am not very good at them. Can anyone help please?

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-HTTPS} !1 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/exchange_1С_Opencart.php$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/TEMP$ RewriteRule ^(.)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-HTTPS} 1 [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/exchange_1С_Opencart.php$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/TEMP$ RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] 2 variant

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/exchange_1С_Opencart.php$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/TEMP$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA] RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443 RewriteRule ^(/exchange_1С_Opencart.php)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^(/TEMP)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]

@mianofv Wow, that’s a difficult config to read - specially if you’re new to Nginx, so I understand why you can’t figure it out.

Instead of trying to hack around with http vs https, maybe we should simply look at exchange_1С_Opencart.php file and see why it doesn’t work with https (because it should work without any problems, since you’re already redirecting http to https). Can you contact the developer to get it fixed?

Otherwise, you need to not use the CentMinMod wizard anymore, since it might overwrite some of the changes you’re going to make. It’s a little difficult to figure out the configuration, since there’s so many includes. This might work - but it might “explode”, so make a copy of domain.com.ssl.conf before replacing with this. Remember to replace all the domain.com with the correct domain.

server {
  server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
  root /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public;

  access_log /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=60m;
  error_log /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/log/error.log;

  location = /exchange_1С_Opencart.php {
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
    break;
  }
  location = /TEMP {
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
    break;
  }

  location / {
    return 302 https://$server_name/$request_uri;
  }
}

  }

  location ~* \.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2|font.css|css)$ {
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
  }

  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;

}

Are you’ve change the configuration, then you need to test the config and restart Nginx:

sudo nginx -s configtest
sudo nginx -s restart

Thanks! Module is connecting. But not uploading the files… I guess only a developer of that module can fix that.

Thank you for your answers. I have a program installed on my computer in my shop which synchronizes products to my OpenCart . My OpenCart is with HTTPS, but that OpenCart module works only with HTTP. So I need to force those files to redirect to HTTP only. The developer only gave Apache rules.
