clean url with html file

We have site in plain html file and some time we want to use clean URLs or Pretty URLs for our site.
Clean URLs are in demand becasue of Seach Engine Optimiztion.

You can achive the Clean URLs. With not doing rework of building site.

Requirement:
Apache Server.
mod_rewrite engine need to on.

Create .htaccess file
and copy paste the following lines

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

#code for About us Page
RewriteRule ^about-us(\d+)*$ ./about.html$1

Put this file into your root folder.

What this will do?

For example I want

www.example.com/about.html to look like www.example.com/about-us/

NginX Rule for WordPress Mu with Pretty Url

Nginx i am using for Rails and WordPressmu application.

I am able to run wordpressmu and Clean Urls(Pretty Url) successfully. I am using Fedora 9 as OS.
“/usr/share/nginx/html/wordpress” – This is my path where i installed WordPressmu

Here is my Nginx code:


server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost.localdomain;
# access_log logs/site.access.log;

location ~* ^.+\.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$
{
root /usr/share/nginx/html/wordpress;
rewrite ^/.*(/wp-admin/.*\.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js))$ $1 last;

rewrite ^.*/files/(.*(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js))$ /wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1 last;
expires 10d;
break;
}

location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.php;

rewrite ^.*/.*/files/(.*) /wordpress/wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.+?(/wp-.*) /wordpress$1 last;
rewrite ^.+?(/.*\.php)$ /wordpress$1 last;
rewrite ^(.+)$ /wordpress/index.php?q=$1 last;
break;
}

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/nginx/html$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;

fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;

fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
include fastcgi_params;

}

location = /50x.html {
root /var/www/nginx-default;
}

}

This code is working fine for me.
