WHMCS is a very popular client management package with a slew of billing, support, and product management options. We use it here and have just recently moved our WHMCS site over to an nginx powered web server. The rewrites have all been worked out and since there’s nothing to be found on the subject via google we decided to share.

Gest of luck – if you run into any issues write us a comment and we’ll see if we can help you work it out.
Uncorrupted provided me a great service. My previous hosting company failed me & my wallet - I came here looking for quality and affordabilty and I achieved beyond both.
The performance is better than anything I have seen before, things load so fast I am in awe. I should have done this from the start.
When I moved from Blogger to Wordpress, I was still a little wet behind the ears and unsure how everything worked with hosting, html and all that good stuff. Uncorrupted held my hand every step of the way, and walked me through the entire process. They not only made sure everything went smoothly but also helped me learn along the way so that I would be empowered as a blogger.
Hi, thanks for sharing, saves me some time. Could you also share your fastcgi_params? Mine may be missing something.
E.g. my WHMCS links to ?a=view where it should link to cart.php?a-view, etc.
Certainly,
They’re the standard params included in: /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params
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 REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$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;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with –enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
Thanks. Unfortunately that’s what I have. Time to dig a little deeper…
