Enable Nginx rewrite rules for Typecho pretty permalinks – blog.dns-dynamic.net

xuhaozhao

Hello Serv00 Team,
I am running a Typecho blog on the s2 node under my account xuhaozhao.
Domain: blog.dns-dynamic.net
Document root: /usr/home/xuhaozhao/domains/blog.dns-dynamic.net/public_html
What I would like to achieve
Enable “pretty permalinks” in Typecho (e.g. https://blog.dns-dynamic.net/archives/hello-world.html).
Typecho requires that all requests that do not match an existing file or directory be internally rewritten to index.php.
Current situation
The control-panel page for this domain does not show the “Pseudo-static (SEO)” drop-down, so I cannot enable the rules myself.
Manual .htaccess files are silently ignored because the frontend is Nginx and only a limited set of Apache directives is parsed.
If I try the built-in Typecho permalink check, it fails with “rewrite test failed”; front-end URLs then return 404.
Request
Could you please insert the following location block inside the server context for blog.dns-dynamic.net and reload Nginx?
nginx
复制
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
This single line is sufficient for Typecho (and WordPress) to obtain clean URLs while preserving access to any real file or folder.
Impact
No extra load on the server.
No changes needed on my side once the rule is active.
I will immediately set Typecho to use “pretty” format and confirm it works.
Thank you very much for your help, and please let me know if you need any additional information.
Best regards,
xuhaozhao

You can set up rewrites through an .htaccess configuration file.

Here is an example:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Save this configuration as an .htaccess file and place it in the root directory of your website—it should work right away.
