mod_rewrite Compatibility

The mod_rewrite options are akin to .htaccess directives. These are necessary to help some PHP scripts function. The associated software should be installed in the path specified as "Source Path".

These configurations are mutually exclusive. Lifeboat will only allow one selection for each Static Files configuration.

Supported software:

  • Easy!Appointments - Self hosted appointment scheduling
  • Grav - A flat-file markdown CMS
  • MantisBT - The REST API endpoints for Mantis Bug Tracker
  • Sendy - Self hosted newsletter software
  • WordPress - Popular open source CMS
  • YOURLS - Your Own URL Shortener

try_files must exist (=404)

This option may help some PHP scripts operate without the need for application-specific configuration. Selecting it will add this line to the location { } directive in nignx:

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
