these are contributed for nginx

location ~ ^(/index.php|/admin/index.php|/rest/denora.php) {
        try_files $1 =404;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass  backend;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
}

Adding some comments to my contribution up there.

If you install Magirc in a subfolder (document_root/subfolder), you'll need to add that subfolder in the location line :

location ~ ^(<subfolder>/index.php|<subfolder>/admin/index.php|<subfolder>/rest/denora.php) {
    try_files $1 =404;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
    fastcgi_pass  backend;` 
    fastcgi_index index.php;
}

For example, if you install Magirc in a magirc subfolder, that gives you :

location ~ ^(/magirc/index.php|/magirc/admin/index.php|/magirc/rest/denora.php) {
    try_files $1 =404;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
    fastcgi_pass  backend;` 
    fastcgi_index index.php;
}

You also have to replace fastcgi_pass backend; by your actual backend for this to work.

This is actually "stolen" from the Slim README.md
We can leave the Apache part out since we already have one, however the nginx/lighttpd stuff is interesting... We should adapt those rules to work with index.php, admin/index.php and rest/denora.php

Setup your webserver

Apache

Ensure the .htaccess and index.php files are in the same public-accessible directory. The .htaccess file should contain this code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

Nginx

Your nginx configuration file should contain this code (along with other settings you may need) in your location block:

if (!-f $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^ /index.php last;
}

This assumes that Slim's index.php is in the root folder of your project (www root).

lighttpd

Your lighttpd configuration file should contain this code (along with other settings you may need). This code requires lighttpd >= 1.4.24.

url.rewrite-if-not-file = ("^" => "/index.php")

This assumes that Slim's index.php is in the root folder of your project (www root).

    location / {
            if (!-f $request_filename) {
                    rewrite ^ /index.php last;
            }
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
            fastcgi_pass backend;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
    }

Just tried with those blocks, admin and ajax calls are not working.
/admin/index.php/configuration will be considered as a file by the fastcgi backend, resulting in 404 Not Found because that file doesn't exists and can't be processed.
Maybe I need to tweak a little the fastcgi location block.

I have absolutely no idea about nginx and lighttps, we just need some rules that work possibly on any system.
Are there any other modes other than fcgi to run php on nginx? Or does everyone use that?

[Jyzee]

On Nginx you must use php-cgi or php-fpm. There is no module like Apache's one.
I'm trying to get a full working config that can also handle Magirc rewrite.

Sorry for double posting.

Here we go for installing Magirc in the document root :

index index.php index.html;
location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}

location ~ ^(/.*\.php)(/.*)?$ {
        try_files $1 =404;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass  backend;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
       #fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}

And this is for a directory in document_root (document_root/magirc_directory) :

index index.php index.html;
location /magirc_directory {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /magirc_directory/index.php;
}

location ~ ^(/magirc_directory/.*\.php)(/.*)?$ {
        try_files $1 =404;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass  backend;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
       #fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}

This will work with or without Magirc rewrite.
Comment out fastcgi_intercept_errors on; to override Magirc 404 blue pages.
Don't forget to replace fastcgi_pass backend; by your actual backend.
