How to make Apache .htaccess file to be worked with Nginx?

Kaz Wolfe · Sep 21, 2016

For most of CMS like joomla, wordpress, drupal,..etc they have htacess file which to run rewrite rules for its web system, but if we change from Apache to Nginx web server, that could not work. What are other solutions to instead of using .htaccess for NGINX?

You are right Nginx doesn't use .htaccess, it use rewrite rules and you have to add them in the Nginx configuration for each website.
But most of the time you just have to use google and to write rewrite nginx with the CMS of your choice to find how to do.

Joomla : https://docs.joomla.org/Nginx/

Wordpress : https://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx

You can just convert the .htaccess on Apache to rewrite rules in Nginx using the online convertor https://winginx.com/en/htaccess

Keep in mind it does not work 100% with Nginx, sometimes you might still need to customize it

You should follow the Nginx rewrite rules here http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html anyway.

Nginx doesn't use .htaccess . You have to add rewrite rule on nginx web configuration for each website.
Here is a link for wordpress https://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx

Yes. You need to configure the nginx configuration in that for redirection
