What are the problems you are facing?

Hers is a Nginx Lighttpd Tutorial

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]

The two RewriteCond statements check to make sure that there is no filename or directory that matches a user’s request. If not, then it rewrites to the index.php page. The [L] means to stop executing rewrites at that line.
Now for Nginx and it’s Rewrite module:
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ index.php last;
}

Nginx doesn't support .htaccess

what if we use nginx as reserve proxy ? can in this case read .htaccess ?

nginx is what I like to call 'noob-proof' (i.e. noobs can't use it).

A bit of googling goes a long way.

@okone, well said. nginx is not supposed for noobs
