Why convert .htaccess to Nginx?
Nginx does not process .htaccess files per directory due to high performance optimization design. All rewrite rules, redirects, and HTTP headers must be declared directly in Nginx server or location blocks.
Convert Apache RewriteRules, 301 redirects, and HTTP headers to Nginx server configuration directives.
This conversion is a starting point and may require manual adjustments depending on your Nginx configuration, modules and context. Back up your current configuration and always validate the syntax with nginx -t before reloading or applying changes in production.
If possible, test the changes in a staging environment first. Only after validation succeeds should you apply or reload the configuration using your server's normal administration procedure.
