# Nginx These instructions are also covered on the [Nginx Wiki](http://wiki.nginx.org/SilverStripe) The prerequisite is that you have already installed Nginx and you are able to run PHP files via the FastCGI-wrapper from Nginx. Now you need to setup a virtual host in Nginx with the following configuration settings: server { listen 80; server_name yoursite.com; root /home/yoursite.com/httpdocs; index index.html index.php; if (!-f $request_filename) { rewrite ^/(.*?)(\?|$)(.*)$ /sapphire/main.php?url=$1&$3 last; } error_page 404 /sapphire/main.php; location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/yoursite.com/httpdocs$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } } The above configuration will setup a new virtual host `yoursite.com` with rewrite rules suited for SilverStripe. The location block at the bottom will pass all php scripts to the FastCGI-wrapper. Now you can proceed with the SilverStripe installation normally.
