.htaccess file not reading Nginx

[only_24x7]

Hello,

I have switched the webserver from Apache to Nginx and now all WordPress websites are showing 404 errors. It looks like the .htaccess file not working in Nginx web server.

Please check and advise on this issue asap.

Thank you.

Where Apache uses .htaccess files per directory to instruct Apache, Nginx does not make use of them. As a result all configuration in .htaccess files should be converted to Nginx configuration..
Maybe you want to avoid this and use Nginx as reverse proxy for Apache ? if yes than your .htaccess files will be read
