Remove Apache dependency on .htaccess

[brendanfalkowski]

The app can work better out-of-box if index.php is adapted to support Nginx and Apache more easily.

Tasks

• Check existing projects using Design Docs with Nginx
• Document necessary config for each system
• Make code changes to remove need for server config (if possible)

I am working on this exact problem, and It's kind of looking like only the rewrite rules need to be adapted.

I'll report back when I get it working.

This appears to work.

    location /design {
    index index.php;
        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        rewrite ^/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ /design/index.php?p1=$2;
        rewrite ^/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ /design/index.php?p1=$2&p2=$3;
        rewrite ^/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ /design/index.php?p1=$2&p2=$3&p3=$4;
        location ~ \.php {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        }
        }

Hi @yoder303, thanks for taking the time to test this out. I'm not working on this project currently, but I'll keep the ticket open and it might help someone else out.
