Converting the .htaccess file with http://winginx.com/en/htaccess and including that on my mirrors Nginx configuration seems to solve the problem. Did not very extensive testing and checking. But Nginx didn't complain and all the donation links seem to work. Don't know about all the other stuff in there. So maybe a converted Nginx config file could be included in the rsync along the original (aka .nginx-rewrites.conf) and the mirroring instructions at https://www.torproject.org/docs/running-a-mirror.html.en updated with a Nginx configuration which includes that file.

For mirror operators that use nginx, we created a sample virtual host configuration file to use:

server {     listen 10.10.10.10:80;     server_name your.example.com;

    root /var/www/mirrors/torproject.org;     index index.html.en;

    # Rewrites     include     /var/www/mirrors/torproject.org/.nginx-rewrites.conf;

    location  /dist {         autoindex on;     } }

If you use nginx, please ensure the text/html line in /etc/nginx/mime.types matches:

text/html                             en html htm shtml;

The big banner on top works. The big green button links directly to torproject.org and not to the mirror site (https://www.torproject.org/donate/donate-pdr-hp) which in turn then gets redirected to donate.torproject.org/pdr.

My mirror does not even have donate/donate-pdr.hp

The smaller violet "Donate" button below does not. It links to donate/donate-button.html.en on the mirror site, which is there but has 0 bytes.

Also the "Donate" link in the footer of the page, below "Get Involved" does not work. It links to donate/donate-foot.html.en on the mirror site, which also has zero bytes.

Then there is the big yellow "DONATE" button on the Download page. Which has the same problem. 0 bytes in donate/donate-download.html.en.

On the main torproject.org site all of those get redirect to https://donate.torproject.org/ by a HTTP 302 message.

Tested on https://tor.zilog.es/

On the other hand, automatically including configuration statements uploaded from a third party in to my server might not be the brightest idea. Just include the necessary statements it in the docs. On 08.11.2017 16:14, Alain Wolf wrote:
