    I've added the following to nginx Directives for mysite

    Code:
    location / {
                    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
           }
    Any wordpress permalink settings besides default I get error
    "ERROR 404 - Not Found!"

    I followed The Perfect Server - Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) With BIND, Dovecot & Nginx [ISPConfig 3] to setup my server

    Permalink Settings (Settings > Permalinks) structure is

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    My vhost file looks like this:

    Code:
    server {
            listen *:80;
    
    
            server_name example.com www.example.com;

            }
    
    
    		
    }
    Any ideas how to make nginx work with wordpress?

    Thanks!

    I have this in my nginx Directives field:
    Code:
           location / {
                    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
           }
    
           # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
           rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
    
           location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {
                    expires max;
                    log_not_found off;
           }

    Thanks Falko, that worked!

    Do you know how long it takes ISPConfig to process the
    change I make in DNS, nginx directives, etc?

    The backend processes changes once per minute.

    I'm using following nginx directives for one web site (i.e. http://domain1.com/) which is WordPress

    Code:
    location / {
                    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
           }
    
           # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
           rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
    
           location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico)$ {
                    expires max;
                    log_not_found off;
           }
    Anyone knows, how can I make another wordpress site works under the same domain, just another folder
    (i.e. http://domain1.com/test/site1) ?

    Thanks!!!

    Try

    Code:
           location /test/site1 {
                    try_files $uri $uri/ /test/site1/index.php?$args;
           }
    
           # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
           rewrite /test/site1/wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

    Thanks Falko, that worked perfectly except for one minor annoyance:

    if I visit my backend I mysite.tld/wp-admin/index.php the drop-down/hover menus in the backend menu don't work.
    If I visit mysite.tld/wp-admin/ everything works perfectly. can we somehow strip the index.php from dashboard URLs?
