installing nginx

if I install nginx, is there a place where I can put the rewrite rules?

location /wordpress {
try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress/index.php?$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/wordpress)(/.*)$;
}

 

Yes, you can add nginx Directives under the options tab for each site.

 

You need to add them to the main configuration file or to the virtual host config file instead.
Take a look here for few examples.
