Comment:

 [attachment:18852.3.patch] is a tentatively updated patch (against
 r21157).

 Included in the patch are single site rewrite rules which are displayed on
 the Permalinks screen, and Multisite rewrite rules which are displayed on
 the Network Setup screen.

 The `try_files` directive (?) has been updated as per [comment:5 Nacin's
 suggestion].

 The Multisite rules '''will need verifying for correctness''' as they are
 not the same as those found on the [http://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx Codex
 page for nginx]. Instead they more closely resemble the mod_rewrite and
 IIS rewrite rules for Multisite. I have just deployed these rewrite rules
 to an nginx site of mine, but I've yet to test them thoroughly.


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

 # Uploaded files
 rewrite ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) /wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2
 last;

 # Add trailing slash to /wp-admin
 rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

 if (!-e $request_filename) {
         rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 last;
         rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/.*\.php)$ $1 last;
 }
 }}}

 In addition, I don't believe the rewrite rules take into account '''single
 sites installs in subdirectories'''. I've not tested it. We may need to
 include the base subdirectory (eg. `/foo` for a site at `example.com/foo`
 at the start of each rewrite rule as nginx doesn't have a RewriteBase
 equivalent.
