Route calls to index.php via try_files with nginx

[Niduroki]

This makes short(er) sharing links even shorter, and would be neat for https://github.com/owncloud/core/tree/shorter_sharing_links (whenever I may finish that …)

E.g.:
https://yourcloud.com/s/3pyaiaav7bt2i
instead of
https://yourcloud.com/index.php/s/3pyaiaav7bt2i
(instead of
https://yourcloud.com/public.php?service=files&t=e91d871628e40fa23ac101a8e26805be
we have right now)

This is already how I do it, though I use the below. Not sure if owncloud actually ever uses arguments
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

I guess this will only work if the instance is installed in the webservers root folder, or am I completely wrong?

[josh4trunks]

that's what I would suspect. but the entire doc needs webroot added in that case so I don't think that's an issue.

i just noticed this won't make a difference until #10755 so I may need to retest with that commit.

[josh4trunks]

looking at some sample configs, yes webroot would need to be added.

also the way to do this is /index.php$is_args$args

$is_args = ? or nothing depending on if arguments exist.
