Set Up Unmanaged VPS (4 Newbies) - Del 14: Tweak Nginx for WordPress - Pretty URLs & WP Super Cache

2 juni
nginx wordpress logoer billede

For blog-platformen WordPress til at arbejde ordentligt med Nginx vi nødt til at justere webserverkonfigurationen. Denne tutorial vil gøre det muligt både caching - integration af WP Super Cache plugin - og aktivere smuk permalinks (FURL s, curl s, alt det!) Med nogle enkle omskrive reglerne.

OK, så du er en WordPress-blogger. Hvis du ikke er, bevæge sig hurtigt på. Ellers, og du vil Nginx-saft, holde det her.

Fordi eftersom jeg alle er elskede op på WordPress, og tilsyneladende så er verden, og hendes søster, og fordi den almægtige WP har behov for lidt TLC at leve lykkeligt med Nginx serveren, vil jeg præcisere, hvad der kræves.

Why bother med WP Super Cache?

'Cos det håndtag tung trafik og hastigheder op dit websted, buster! For mere om dette, se her. Det væsentlige: --

  • til Digg-bevis for din blog

Som for permalinks?

At konvertere URI's like www.xyz.com/r/default.asp?iID=HFJJLH&iPostID=JMMGD til www.xyz.com / pretty-please. Det væsentlige: --

  • for usability
  • for SEO

Dejlig.

WordPress Plugin WP Super Cache & Permalinks Bundle

Hvis du kun ønsker at permalinks, ikke caching, springe til her.

Opret en ny fil: -- 

sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.super_cache

And in there, paste:-

# if the requested file exists, return it immediately
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}

set $supercache_file '';
set $supercache_uri $request_uri;

if ($request_method = POST) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}

# Using pretty permalinks, so bypass the cache for any query string
if ($query_string) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}

if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_" ) {
set $supercache_uri '';
}

# if we haven't bypassed the cache, specify our supercache file
if ($supercache_uri ~ ^(.+)$) {
set $supercache_file /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html;
}

# only rewrite to the supercache file if it actually exists
if (-f $document_root$supercache_file) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $supercache_file break;
}

# all other requests go to Wordpress
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite . /index.php last;
}

Save and quit - CTRL-X and Enter.

WordPress Permalinks Without WP Super Cache

If you've added the file above, ignore this section.

Create a file:

sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.regular

And paste this within:-

# WordPress pretty URLs: (as per dominiek.com)
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
if (-d $request_filename) {
break;
}
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
# Enable nice permalinks for WordPress: (as per Yawn.it)
error_page  404  = //index.php?q=$uri;

Save and quit (CTRL-X, 'y' to confirm, then Enter).

Configure Nginx for WordPress Permalinks & WP Super Cache

We'll link to either of those files now, from the virtual host file we created in Part 13: Serve Multiple Sites & Blogs with Virtual Hosts . If you have more than one standalone blog, as per Part 13, you'll have a vhost file for each, and must edit each of them.

Open the vhost file for each WP blog. For instance, for my site waywiderweb, which I've been exampling in this series:-

sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/sites-available/waywiderweb.com

If you want BOTH the WP Super Cache and the friendly URLs

After the line index index.php index.html; , so before the } , paste this:-

# Wordpress WP Super Cache plugin and permalinks.
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.super_cache;

If you want ONLY the friendly URLs

After the line index index.php index.html; , so before the } , paste this:-

# Wordpress permalinks.
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wordpress_params.regular;

Restart Nginx:-

n2r

Or, if you didn't follow Part 7: Edit bashrc for User-Friendly Linux , type:-

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Done. Check your site in a web browser.

I'd like to thank Matt Stevens and Gleb Esman for the Nginx integration.

Next Up, Installing WordPress & Other Platforms with Subversion.

That's it for pretty URIs, friendly URLs, FURLs, CURLs, permalinks or whatever else they're called. And we'll enable the caching when we install the WP Super Cache plugin. Talking of which, in the next how-to guide in this series, we do just that, using super-duper Subversion, with which we'll also simplify the WordPress installation process.

.. Damn, I'm good to you ;)   Guess what ...

  5. Fartzilla June 5th, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    You know, over the years I have tried many different tutorials for many things and have always spent countless hours trying to work out why something didn't work out only to find that it was because the author missed a "." here, or a "/" there, or some other minor mistake which meant that I did not get the same result as the author.

    I am incredibly happy that I followed along your tutorials to date and there hasn't been a single error, everything has happened just the way you explained. Thanks heaps, you are doing a great job!

  6. the_guv June 5th, 2009 at 8:08 pm

    Wow! Fartzilla (God's teeth, what kind of a name is that : P )
    ... I don't think I've before received such praise. You might have used a larger font!
    I am honoured, thank you.
    Darn kind, and I'm really rather chuffed it's working out so well for you.

  7. eric June 6th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

    hi nice vps bible, other than when i am trying to run the way you have instructed i keep getting this error

    2009/06/06 18:00:04 [error] 30448#0: *4 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while processing "/index.php",

  8. the_guv June 7th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

    tx eric .. sorry to hear you've got a problem. surely a rewrite issue.

    assuming you've done everything literally code for code, it will work. it's 100% tested.

    there's a discrepancy between what I say and what you've done, most likely in either Part 13 or here.

    ...try again, retracing your steps carefully.

    if that doesn't work, or you already have tried - let me know exactly what you want to achieve, if anything, with your rewrite ruleset and any even seemingly insignificant discrepancies (ie vps provider and linux distro) and maybe i or someone here can advise.

    best of luck

    Simpler rule for pretty permalinks (no super-cache):

    That's it. Easy. Works fine.

    @Otto .. nice tip, thank you. Will try that.

    Good morning, guvnr,
    I'm trying to install WordPress Mu but I'm a little apprehensive about using the conf we made along with the supercache referenced in it.

    on the page below this link, there's a portion for the rewrite to be used in nginx servers:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU

    should i follow that? Do I delete everything in the one we made? Have you tried installing Mu with BuddyPress with the same conf + supercache?

    I found this one but it doesn't have supercache : (
    http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/nginx-re-write-rules

    should i use that?

    This one has supercache...
    http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/11705

    Will that work? I'm not sure which one to delete, add, combine or what not. Thank you for your time, sir!

  18. the_guv August 6th, 2009 at 9:00 pm

    Howdy Trav 19,

    I've set up MU + BP but haven't had a chance to play with it properly yet. Maybe too late for you, it'll be a few weeks before I crack out my findings.

    That looks to be a top guide at WP . Their rewrite rule should just need to go in your vhost file, in the server block. Follow the other steps they set out too though, DNS and so on.

    Try it, and let me know, I'm curious, and lots of other folks will be too.

  19. Martonic August 26th, 2009 at 4:15 pm

    Damn, that sound's so easy if you think about it.

  20. nick September 19th, 2009 at 4:40 am

    how do you get wordpress running with wp-ecommerce and able to add a product to your shopping cart on nginx?

  21. the_guv September 23rd, 2009 at 10:12 am

    @Martonic .. I must tighten up my spam filter ;)

    @Nick .. now come on, get it together! I mean, that's kind of like asking, what's the best way to cook up spuds?

    tell me what you want to achieve, what factors to expect and then maybe i can give you some idea.

  22. Alan aka Hyperdude October 16th, 2009 at 1:23 pm

    @Nick.. I too have had a few problems with the wp-ecommerce plugin. I have feeling that it may be something to do with the permissions settings. Not sure if the authors of the plugin have ever tested with nginx? But I can't imagine that nginx is the cause of the problem.

  23. the_guv October 16th, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    ah, @Nick .. that's a plugin is it?! Probably best if I try to read a comment before replying, hmmn. Er, no idea about that though, sorry.

  24. Jean October 25th, 2009 at 5:41 pm

    Hi Guv, i've been following your tutorials with much thanks. I have a question as pretty permalinks don't work for my WP (It's always a 404 except if default is chosen in my WP permalinks settings) If my wp blog were at domain.com/blog instead, do I have to change the location of the vhost file ? (sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/sites-available/domain.com)?

    I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, I'm really, really new to CLI & VPS/linode. Thank you so much!

    I followed these instructions and everything works. One question remains, is it possible to make the backend of wordpress allow installing plugins without asking for FTP login/password. I use to be able to install wordpress plugins via the wordpress backend on my on Cpanel host. Just was wondering if it's possible with nginx.

  29. the_guv November 11th, 2009 at 3:11 pm

    @thanh, good to hear. sure is possible .. just use the Add New option in the Plugins panel of your WordPress Dashboard .. that's what I tend to do and it's a great WP feature, giving an array of suggested plugins when you input a specific plugin name or keywords .. but then of course there is also Subversion which is darned handy, for instance, when you relocate a blog or set up one anew, and have a generic list of plugins that you want to install as a plugin 'base'.

    That subversion method is covered in WordPress Setup & Updates from the Command Line . Installing subversion is covered in PHP5, MySQL, Xcache, Subversion (for Platforms like WordPress) .

    .. i never use that ftp login/pass method. i guess some folks like it.

  30. Moses December 14th, 2009 at 11:15 am

    Thanks for these great guides Guvnr, loving it so far.

    Could I suggest at the end of this one you mention the way to check that the cache is working is to view the last line of your pages' source code and see the created time. Then refresh the page and check that it's served the prior page.

    Cheers,
    Moses.
