Question nginx rewrites

[andyxyz]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.61 Update #6

I am trying to do a very simple removal of index.php from a url using nginx only config.

eg

https://www.domain.com/index.php/some/category

The standard code

location ~* ^/index\.php/(.*)$ { return 301 /$1;}

has no effect in Additional nginx settings and has to be placed within the server block .. which of course will not survive a rebuild.
this seems a spectacularly straight forward request.. how are people doing this?

Surely we don't need to resort to custom templates to do this?

Not sure why you would need a custom template for this. Any Nginx directive you add to the Additional Nginx directive gets added to the server block already.

Most common directive for beautifying links/permalinks look something like:

location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

The exact implementation depends on your website/application.

Tried that 1st.. no effect at all.
