SEF URL's for Apache?

Where can I find the code that creates all the SEF URL's for Apache?

I'd like to create my own Nginx rewrite rules for them. I've been going through my forum and access logs, and this is what I have found so far.

Is this all of them? Which ones am I missing?

/forum/index.php/board,4.0.html (Board)
/forum/index.php/board,4.4860.html (Board pagination)

/forum/index.php/topic,48634.0.html (Topic)
/forum/index.php/topic,48634.1280.html (Topic pagination)

Those are basically useless now. They were designed for back in the day when search engines could not deal with variables in the url.

If you want to see a different way to do it, look at the pretty urls mod

I'm not able to switch to anything else as I've been using SEF since 2003.

If I did, my forum SEO would tank pretty hard.

well....  it would for a moment.  However, SEO recovers pretty quickly, as long as the content is still there.


but no, I don't think that's all of the urls -- because there are things like profiles and other items which would also have been re-written.

Could you tell me which files creates these .html links?

I tried using grep and searching for '\.html' but it only shows a couple results - which are only responsible for inserting the SID in to the URL - not creating them.

Probably either subs.php or load.pho

I just noticed that no Nginx rewrites are necessary to make the SEF option to work for Nginx + PHP-FPM.

All I needed to do was modify one line in each Subs.php and QueryString.php files and force enable the SEF options.

if (true || !empty($modSettings['queryless_urls']) ...
I commented out my rewrites for SMF in Nginx, restarted the Nginx and PHP-FPM servers and everything just works.

In my testing so far, all the expected URL's are in "SEF" format and clicking them navigates to all the right locations. I also tested creating new topics, replying to posts, etc with no issues.

I've confirmed Nginx was speaking with PHP-FPM (and not Apache) by using "phpinfo();".

The only thing I have in Nginx is to pass all "/forum/index.php" requests to PHP-FPM.

location ~* /forum/index\.php {
      include         /usr/local/etc/nginx/php-fpm.conf;
      fastcgi_pass    unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
}

So with that said, why is does this option show "Apache/Lighttpd only"?
