I want to use osC using Nginx as the webserver. As I don't have much knowledge in anything related to web development, I would like to ask if osC uses any Apache-specific features that I may need to convert to Nginx settings to make it run (like .htaccess). Or will osC run with out-of-the-box Nginx (with PHP enabled, of course)?

Basic osCommerce uses .htaccess files for directory protection. It will run without the .htaccess files, but you may be vulnerable to hacking unless you can use an acceptable equivalent. Some Addons (such as URL rewriters) require .htaccess to run.

Am I to understand there are no obstacles other than the .htacess files?

Provided that PHP and MySQL are included and working, I see no reason why it would not work. However, I am not familiar with Nginx and have not tested this, so there may be hidden problems that I am unaware of.

That is what I think as well. However, this thread is meant to clarify that osC does not use any Apache-specific configuration.
