#nginx permalink rewrite

Lot's of Apache examples out there but not really any Nginx ones, create a rewrite.conf in the conf folder and stick this in it

  if (!-e $request_filename) {             rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;         }

Now in your virtual host file you will want to do the following

 location / {         root   /var/www/wordpress;  # absolute path to your WordPress installation         index  index.php index.html index.htm;         include permalink_rewrite.conf;     }

Also serving static files that exist but doesn't break other rewrite tests

     if (-f $request_filename) {             expires 30d;             break;
