Nginx – WordPress + nginx infinite redirect loop

nginxweb-serverWordpress

I'm having problems with a wordpress site to enter the admin area.

If I enter with:
http://www.beshan.com/wp-admin/

I get an infinite redirect loop but if I enter with:

http://www.beshan.com/wp-admin/index.php

it works

My client's server is a centos linux + nginx

the nginx.conf:

user  www www;
worker_processes 8;
error_log  logs/nginx_error.log  crit;
#pid        /usr/local/webserver/nginx/nginx.pid;

#Specifies the value for maximum file descriptors that can be opened by this process. 
worker_rlimit_nofile 51200;
events 
{
  use epoll;
  worker_connections 51200;
}

http 
{
  include       mime.types;
  default_type  application/octet-stream;
  #charset  gb2312;
  server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;
  client_header_buffer_size 32k;
  large_client_header_buffers 4 32k;
  client_max_body_size 8m;

    root  /usr/local/nginx/htdocs/beshan.com/www/;

    #limit_conn   crawler  20;    

    location / {
        index  index.php;
        # If file not found, redirect to Zend handling, we can remove the (if) here and go directly rewrite
        if (!-f $request_filename){
        rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?$1& last;
        }
    }
    location ~* ^.+\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|pdf|png|css)$ {
      access_log   off;
      expires      7d;
    }
    location ~ .*\.php?$ {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }

#    location ~ .*\.(php|php5)?$
#    {      
#      #fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
#      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
#      fastcgi_index index.php;
#      include fcgi.conf;
#    }
#    
#    location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|swf)$
#    {
#      expires      30d;
#    }
#
#    location ~ .*\.(js|css)?$
#    {
#      expires      7d;
#    }    

    log_format  access  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
              '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
              '"$http_user_agent" $http_x_forwarded_for';
    access_log  logs/access.log  access;
  }
}

In chrome developer tools->network i can see a lot of 302 redirects, 25 aprox before show the error message.

Is it something bad configured in nginx? how can i solve it?

Best Answer

Here is the problem:

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

This is one of the most common nginx misconfigurations.

Replace these three lines with try_files:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

See also the WordPress wiki entry on nginx.

(BTW, your .htaccess does nothing, since you are not using Apache.)
