Some Apache directives do not have a direct Nginx equivalent and may require manual configuration.

Apache to Nginx
.htaccess Converter
Convert common Apache .htaccess rules into Nginx-compatible configuration.
Paste or upload your .htaccess file and the converter will translate supported redirects, rewrite rules, access controls, headers, caching rules, and other common directives into Nginx syntax.
HudsonPanel includes additional compatibility handling for common .htaccess behavior, migrations, PHP settings, security rules, and application-specific configurations.

How directives are handled
RewriteCond + RewriteRule
Condition chains stay attached to their rule and convert only when the complete block has a safe Nginx equivalent.
REQUEST_METHOD, HTTPS, HTTP_HOST, REQUEST_URI, QUERY_STRING, THE_REQUEST, HTTP_USER_AGENT
Common method, scheme, host, URI, query, raw-request, and user-agent conditions support NC, OR, L, F, and redirect flags.
Redirect, RedirectMatch, DirectoryIndex, ErrorDocument, Header
Common redirects, index files, custom errors, and security headers render in Nginx.
Comments, Blank lines, RewriteEngine, <IfModule>, <RequireAll>
Apache-only switches and wrappers are unnecessary after their contents are analyzed.
Options, AddType, AddHandler, SetHandler, mime_module, php7_module, lsapi_module
HudsonPanel manages handlers, MIME behavior, indexes, and runtimes through Nginx and PHP-FPM.
php_value, php_flag, php_admin_value, php_admin_flag
Supported limits move into the destination account's managed PHP-FPM pool settings.
Order, Allow, Deny, Require, IP block lists
Safe IP rules move to Nginx; contextual protection is identified for Access Protection, firewall, or CrowdSec.
<Files>, <FilesMatch>, AuthType, AuthName, AuthUserFile
File protection and authentication are handled through native Nginx security and HudsonPanel Access Protection when context is clear.
