Nginx Why Does Nginx Rewrite Rules Work Differently In Centmin

Hi everyone, so i wanted to know why does the nginx rewrite rules modifications to have them work in centmin, for example the below rewrite rule does not work, if i put it in my domains vhost conf.

---

However, it works fine on Lemp stack or vestacp or cpanel. I had other rules like this which @eva2000 modified to fix them

Code:

# nginx webdav rules
# allow for paths ending with forward slashes
rewrite ^/app/(.*)/ /plugins/webdav/site/control/$1 last;
rewrite ^/app/(.*) /plugins/webdav/site/control/$1 last;
# all webdav requests
location /plugins/webdav/site/control/ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    gzip off;
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

 

Ohh okay now i understand, And its a better way too.

And should i put the new rules in php.conf or the domains vhost

And also you didnt mention anything about this

rewrite ^/app/(.*)/ /plugins/webdav/site/control/$1 last;
rewrite ^/app/(.*) /plugins/webdav/site/control/$1 last;

 

Okay thank you, everything is clear now.
