Migration from Apache to Nginx: Why convert configuration?
In the high performance Web service, Nginx has gradually replaced Apache Be preferred. It is known for its high co-production, low memory occupancy and strong static document processing capacity. However, Apache uses
.htaccess
File manages the distributed configuration, while Nginx uses the centralised master profile. Hypocrisy static rule (Rewrite) for Apache The migration of the server to Nginx is the most critical step in the migration process.
Core difference between Apache and Nginx configuration
-
Distributive vs centralize:
Apache Finds in Each Directory
.htaccessAnd that's gonna lead to a loss of performance. Nginx loads the configuration on startup, and is more efficient. -
Syntax:
Appleche's.
RewriteRuleBased on the logo (Flags, e. g. [L, QSA]), while Nginx uses a more proximate languageifCommands andrewrite/try_filesInstruction. -
Performance:
The regulars of Nginx match very quickly, and
try_filesCommand is simpler than the existential check (-f,-d) of the Apache file.
What specific problems can this conversion tool solve?
1. Common pseudostatic migration:
Whether WordPress is a permanent link, or a single entry for Laravel, or ThinkPHP The path pattern, the tool is accurate.
RewriteRule
And convert to corresponding
location
block or
rewrite
Instruction.
2. Conditional judgement (RewriteCond):
The common "resend to index.php if the file does not exist" logic in Apache, and the most elegant achievement in Nginx is that
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
。 This tool automatically converts this “best practice” form, rather than a hard regular translation.
3. Error page customization:
One-incher.
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
Converted to Nginx
error_page 404 /404.html;
。
Post-removal test recommendations
-
Check Syntax:
Once deployed, the configuration must be run
nginx -tCheck for grammatical errors. -
Process query string:
Nginx default automatically cross-penetrate query parameters unless you add a reference to the end of the rewrite
?。 Most common situations have been addressed in this tool. -
Root directory permissions:
Nginx doesn't handle it automatically.
Deny from all, you need to convert it tolocation ~ /\.ht { deny all; }。
