noob question: nginx rewrites wordpress

[bendy303]

Hi, I have a bunch of projects that i was using IIS with, but now I want to use the NGINX setup with laragon instead, however I was using a localhost/{projectname}/ setup.

So for pretty links I read that its better to use laragons virtualhosts system, but I dont want to replace all the wordpress mysql tables with the new urls..

so can I just use rewrites in nginx config?

can't seem to get it working...

basically need to change
localhost/{projectname}/
to
/{projectname}.test

I tried adding to the nginx '00-default.conf' file:

location / {
rewrite ^(https?)://localhost/(.*?)/$ $1://$2.test/ permanent;
}

but it just won't work!!

help appreciated

cheers

@bendy303 :
The easiest way is updating VirtualHost.tpl in usr\tpl dir.
