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 options are mutually exclusive. Lifeboat will only allow one selection for each Website Files configuration. To use multiple PHP scripts on the same website, place each script under its own Website Files configuration. There are no conflicts with nested or sibling Website Files entries.

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;
