They go in the config file. There is no .htaccess equivalent in Nginx.
that just sucks. The reason I ask is that there is a new cpanel plugin out there that gives people the ability to use nginx instead of apache but they can't edit thier own rewrite rules.
Yeah I've got the same problem and it's very frustrating. I didn't want to use Apache but needed the .htaccess support so normal users can make changes. AFAIK the only option is Litespeed
So use Lighty instead.
It is a great new plugin called cpXstack which is awesome cause the customer can choose, which sites get it.
@jhadley can you include the rewrites from a file in thier directory?
@kbeezie maybe he can shed some light on my idea.
It looks like -- from the video on the front page -- that users should be able to throw in/edit rewrite rules directly from cPanel.
I got that but it doesn't seem to be working
You could potentially do it, but a problem you'd discover is that on re/start, nginx checks for syntatically correctness in every file included. Any syntax errors would cause nginx to error out and not be able to start. If you're running separate nginx instances for each client, you'd have no issue. However, if the same instance of nginx is being run for everything, one bad config file can ruin it for everyone.
