Code:

Starting nginx: [emerg]: directive "rewrite" is not terminated by ";" in /usr/local/nginx/vhosts/www.site.com.conf:45

Even though the Nginx configuration file contains a rewrite rule which is terminated corectly (with

Code:

last;

), if a rule contains curly brackets {}, then those brackets finish the location directive in Nginx configuration prematurely, thus making Nginx complaining about line termination.

Example:

Code:

system {
                   listen  80;
 ...
                    location / {
 ...                                 
                                      rewrite ^/[a-z0-9_-]*-[a-z]{1}([0-9]+)(/(news)+)?(/(digest)+)?(/(short|long)+)?/([a-z0-9_]+)\.xml(\.gz)?$ /gymrss.php?$8=$1&$3&$5&$7&gzip=$9 last;
 ...                                  
                    }                                     
}

[hence the curly brackets in [a-z]{1}([0-9]+) ].

To avoid these situations, enclose the first part of the regular expression with double quotes like below:

Code:

rewrite "^/[a-z0-9_-]*-[a-z]{1}([0-9]+)(/(news)+)?(/(digest)+)?(/(short|long)+)?/([a-z0-9_]+)\.xml(\.gz)?$" /gymrss.php?$8=$1&$3&$5&$7&gzip=$9 last;
